Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre has won the race for South County supervisor, re-cementing a Democratic majority on the Board of Supervisors six months after the surprise departure of Nora Vargas.

In a statement released Tuesday night, Aguirre said District 1 residents "now have a fighter at the county Board of Supervisors who will hold the line against the Trump administration."

Aguirre is expected to be sworn in to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors by late July following a strong election night lead.
