Campaign
With incumbent mayor Susan Golding termed out and ineligible to run, the primary election attracted a crowded field of candidates. Despite Democrats in San Diego holding 39% to 36.5% lead in registered voters, all but one of the candidates considered serious contenders by the media were Republicans. Many of the candidates had ties to Pete Wilson, the former mayor of San Diego, U.S. senator, and California governor. County supervisor Ron Roberts advanced to the November runoff with 25% of the primary vote. He was joined by Superior Court Judge Dick Murphy, who narrowly defeated banker Peter Q. Davis for second place and a place in the runoff with 15% of the vote.Staff Writer Murphy Gets Slim Edge in San Diego Race https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-mar-10-mn-7322-story.html October 19, 2014 Los Angeles Times March 10, 2000
Due to his advantages in fund raising, endorsements, political experience and his comfortable lead in the primary election Roberts was initially considered the front runner. However, Murphy was able to pull even by campaigning as an incorruptible political independent compared to his "career politician" opponent.Perry Tony Integrity Trumps Other Issues in San Diego's Mayoral Race https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-oct-22-mn-40310-story.html October 19, 2014 Los Angeles Times October 22, 2000 Sports also played a large role in the general election campaign, including controversy over a deal where the city agreed to pay the San Diego Chargers for unsold tickets and city participation in the financing of a new stadium for the San Diego Padres.Perry Tony Sports Takes Lead in San Diego Mayor's Race https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-sep-28-mn-28105-story.html October 19, 2014 Los Angeles Times September 28, 2000
