San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones will advance to a November runoff to represent District 5 on the County Board of Supervisors.It’s still not clear who she’ll face.Jones, one of two leading Republicans in the race, had 41.2% of the vote Tuesday night, more than double the support of her closest challenger.Kyle Krahel, a staffer for Rep. Mike Levin and former chair of the county’s Democratic Party, had a narrow edge for the second spot in the general election, with 20.3% of the vote.But Vista Mayor John Franklin trails him by only 781 votes — out of 86,910 votes counted in the district so far. Franklin, another Republican, has 19.4% of the vote.The race will determine who replaces County Supervisor Jim Desmond, who is termed out in the inland North County seat — and who has already advanced to the general election in the 48th Congressional District, where he is aiming to replace Rep. Darrell Issa in one of the most-watched races in the country.The primary race between Jones and Franklin has turned into a bruising proxy battle between competing Republican factions in the county. Assemblyman Carl DeMaio’s group, Reform California, endorsed Jones. Issa — a long-time rival of DeMaio — supported Franklin.A Republican win in District 5 would maintain the current 3-2 Democratic advantage on the County Board of Supervisors. A Krahel win would push the Democrats’ edge to 4-1, after they had a 5-0 disadvantage as recently as 2018.
