Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer lost a lawsuit against the Secretary of State’s office requesting to be labeled as a retired mayor on the California recall ballot.
“The California Democrat Party put their fist on the scales of justice and injected partisanship into this proceeding,” Faulconer’s campaign said July 21 following the ruling. “Voters have a right to transparent and accurate information about Mayor Faulconer’s record and this decision defies common sense.”
