In a debate moderated by Pat Byrne, three Democrat candidates for San Diego mayor went head-to-head. The Uptown Democratic Club decided to endorse City Council member Barbara Bry. Here are some highlights from the event:<\/p>\n

Barbary Bry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Top issues:<\/strong> Increased transparency, local control of housing, building tech center Downtown<\/p>\n

Standout quote:<\/strong> \u201cBefore I take a position on any issue, I do my research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yikes moment:<\/strong> Offering very few policy proposals when answering questions because she needed to know more about the issues.<\/p>\n

Best moment:<\/strong> Several pointed attacks on Todd Gloria\u2019s record, the favored candidate in the race, that positioned her as the underdog.<\/p>\n

Todd Gloria<\/strong><\/h3>\n

(Todd Gloria was scheduled to travel before being invited to the debate so Campaign Manager Nick Serrano represented him instead)<\/em><\/p>\n

Top issues:<\/strong> Addressing housing crisis and homelessness, improving transit, climate action<\/p>\n

Standout quote:<\/strong> \u201cWe want a new San Diego that works for all of us. It\u2019s the same Assembly member Gloria that you\u2019ve seen for years in this community that\u2019s been working for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yikes moment:<\/strong> Not showing up (even though he did send Serrano in his place, people complained)<\/p>\n

Best moment:<\/strong> Serrano\u2019s command of the issues. He passionately and extensively explained Gloria\u2019s track record.<\/p>\n

Beatrice Marion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Top issues:<\/strong> Ending the practice of declawing cats, animal rights<\/p>\n

Standout quote:<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s not America\u2019s finest city but it can be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yikes moment:<\/strong> Not answering questions and instead talking about personal experiences.<\/p>\n

Best moment:<\/strong> Leaning on her identity as an outsider in the race with no mainstream backers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
