Voters in San Diego County's fourth supervisorial district appear to have elected San Diego City Councilmember Monica Montgomery Steppe to be their next supervisor.

After decades of Republican control, Democrats won a majority on the Board of Supervisors in 2020. But since the resignation of former Supervisor Nathan Fletcher amid accusations of sexual harassment and assault — allegations he denies — the board has been split 2-2.forms, the two candidates had raised similar amounts of money from the start of the year through Oct. 21. Montgomery Steppe's campaign raised $267,292.54 in that time period compared to Reichert's $264,312.85.
Whoever wins the election will serve out the remainder of Fletcher's four-year term, which began in January. A victory by Montgomery Steppe would create a vacancy on the San Diego City Council that would have to be filled by another special election.I cover local government — a broad beat that includes housing, homelessness and infrastructure.
