SAN DIEGO — Republican City Councilman Kevin Faulconer defeated Democratic Councilman David Alvarez in the San Diego mayor’s race Tuesday night.
Faulconer had 55.2 percent compared to Alvarez’s 44.8 percent with 86 percent of the city's precincts counted.
A jubilant Faulconer gave a speech to his supporters about 10:40 p.m. but stopped short of declaring victory.
“We know that this city has gone through a lot in the last year, but we knew that as San Diegans that we were better than that and that we were going to come together when we had the opportunity to do that and come to together we have,” Faulconer said.

Billbray got close to 49% in 2012.
San Diego municipal elections are officially non-partisan (all Cali municipal elections are by state law I believe) but no one is shy about what party they are in. All it really means to have a non-partisan election that the party name doesn’t appear on the ballot and primary is a non-partisan affair where the top-2 advance (unless someone wins a majority) it doesn’t mean the candidates aren’t members of parties.
CA does still have registration by party.
