TODAY'S TOP STORY:
Just days after Nora Vargas announced she would step down from her San Diego County Supervisor position, some notable names have emerged as potential candidates to replace her.
Vargas’ decision to end her tenure creates an opening on the five-member Supervisors board; the District 1 seat could be filled via a special election or an appointment by the board.
Current Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre told ABC 10News she would strongly consider running for the seat.
John McCann, the current mayor of Chula Vista, has also expressed interest in the District 1 spot.
San Diego City Councilwoman Vivian Moreno on Monday announced on social media she would vie for the seat.
Moreno stated: "I’m excited to announce my campaign for San Diego County Supervisorial District 1. By standing alongside those who fight for a better future for the South Bay, I am confident that we will create the South Bay that we all deserve. Together, we are building a better South Bay."
On Dec. 20, Vargas announced she would be leaving her role in early January, citing safety concerns.
In November, she easily won a second four-year term.
