Mayor Todd Gloria and Independent candidate Larry Turner are both vying for the position of Mayor of San Diego, with homelessness and public safety being the main issues of the election.

A prominent aide to San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria will start a two-year term as chair of the San Diego County Water Authority board on Oct. 1.

Mayor Todd Gloria made his case for four more years, while the police officer challenging him for re-election questioned the success of his first term.

Mayor Todd Gloria has held the seat over the past four years, and he previously served as a member of the California State Assembly and City Council.

According to the election poll, which was administered by SurveyUSA, 37% of those queried said that if they were filling out their ballot that day, they would choose Gloria; 33% said that they would vote for Turner.

Mayor Todd Gloria faced-off against his re-election challenger, independent police officer Larry Turner, in a recorded debate Tuesday. This is how to watch.
