The winner will replace incumbent Joe Simitian, who has held the North County seat for more than a decade. Lieber and Abe-Koga made it through to the November general election after being the top two finishers in the March primary.

I was curious why Lieber opposed light rail expansion — for anyone similarly curious, I found this in another MV Voice article:
“With transit, Lieber says the planned light rail extensions are good enhancements, but it’s a high-cost system, and the county should prioritize other forms of public transit like its bus routes. Lieber supports putting in dedicated bus lanes to help traffic congestion, she said. She says the South Bay has a strong activist community, and the county could look to it for input on how to increase ridership on its public transit systems.”
