Voters resoundingly supported term limits for County Supervisors, voting more than two-to-one in favor of Proposition B. Nearly seven out of ten voters (68.98 percent) supported the measure. Current Supervisors may serve two more terms before the measure takes effect.

Critics of Supervisor Bill Horn may have had an impact on his re-election. He failed to receive enough votes to avoid a runoff and will face Vista City Councilman Steve Gronke in November. The results are a breakthrough — there hasn’t been a runoff in a County Supervisor race since 1998 (Ron Roberts will also face a runoff in November). Horn’s 47.19 percent shows more people voted against him than for him, and provides hope that he can be unseated.
