A moderate Republican city councilman scored a decisive win in the election
for San Diego mayor, offering a dose of good news for a party that has
fared poorly in California and in races to lead major American cities.
Kevin Faulconer, 47, said Wednesday that his emphasis on working across
party lines and his embrace of fiscal measures such as cutting pensions for
city workers and putting more city services up for private bidding led to
his surprisingly large margin of victory.
The two-term councilman and former public relations executive led Democratic
Councilman David Alvarez by 54.5 percent to 45.5 percent with all precincts
reporting.
San Diego becomes the nation's largest city with a Republican mayor and
Faulconer is the only Republican to lead a major city in California, where
Democrats hold all statewide offices.
"The themes of inclusion, of bringing everyone together, of reform and
making changes are themes that will resonate not just here in San Diego but
in other cities across the country," Faulconer said.
He will fill the unexpired term of Bob Filner, 71, who was elected San Diego
's first Democratic leader in 20 years in 2012 but resigned after less than
nine months in office amid a torrent of sexual harassment allegations.
Filner, a former 10-term congressman, pleaded guilty in October to one
felony count of false imprisonment and two misdemeanor counts of battery and
began a three-month sentence of home confinement on Jan. 1.
Alvarez, 33, and groups supporting him — mainly organized labor — outspent
Faulconer and his largely pro-business allies by about $1 million.
Faulconer sought to turn that to his advantage by relentlessly portraying
Alvarez as a tool for labor unions.
"Our tracking polls showed that Alvarez's union ties were devastating," said
Faulconer pollster John Nienstedt. "We morphed it into an anchor on him."
Faulconer's win comes as the nation's eighth-largest city turns more
Democratic. President Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney by 25 percentage
points among city voters, and Democrats enjoy a 13 point advantage over
Republicans among registered city voters.
Unlike Filner, Alvarez was unable to ride the coattails of a popular
president. Turnout in the special election was 43 percent.
Faulconer played down his party affiliation throughout the campaign and cast
himself as an even-keeled consensus-builder.
"It was a big and convincing win for a Republican in a decidedly blue city,"
said Nienstedt, president of Competitive Edge Research & Communication. "
That happens when you have a Kevin Faulconer Republican running — an
inclusive, caring, moderate gentleman, not a table-pounding man or woman."
Brian Adams, a political science professor at San Diego State University,
said voters who weren't paying close attention may not have known Faulconer
was Republican. Alvarez, he said, failed to appeal to independent voters and
seemed unprepared for some pro-Faulconer attack mailer, including one that
insinuated he would shower money on a few low-income neighborhoods and
ignore the rest of the city.
"(Alvarez) was effective at getting his base out but he wasn't able to pull
in a lot of moderate voters," Adams said. "You've got to win your base and
pick up some in the middle. This isn't New York, where you can just rely on
Democrats." |

看着像是UNION的鹰犬，自己没啥主见，选民也没啥热情
Faulconer算是捡了个便宜 |
