Here's who is running for San Diego City Council in the Nov 2026 election

Four San Diego City Council races on the ballot could significantly change the city's legislative body, with two incumbents seeking reelection and two seats open.

Bailey, a former Republican who changed his registration in February and is running as "no party preference," won the June primary with 35% of the vote.

The two Democratic candidates, Crosby and Josh Coyne, together received about 47% of the vote.

Richard Bailey's platform includes balancing the budget, changing accessory dwelling unit regulations to prevent density in residential neighborhoods, and fixing city streets and infrastructure.

A financially stable, high-performing, responsive city government is not a partisan position, it is a reasonable expectation shared by all San Diegans," Bailey's website says.
