MAYOR

Mayor John McCann, a lifelong Chula Vista resident, is a decorated Navy Veteran and successful small-business owner. McCann’s solution-oriented approach prioritizes public safety, neighborhood improvements, decreasing traffic congestion, and support of local businesses.

McCann was raised in a working-class family by a single mother who worked at the Rohr/Goodrich Aerospace Factory. He attended Bonita Vista High School and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, Master’s Degree in Economics, and worked at the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

McCann’s championship of public safety has moved the City of Chula Vista to a Top 10 Safest City with a population of over 200,000 in the United States. McCann’s leadership has increased the number of police officers from under 200 officers to over 260 officers city wide. Under McCann’s guidance, Chula Vista has doubled the number of police patrols, implemented police body-worn cameras (increasing transparency), implemented a new GPS police dispatch system (to alert the closest unit available to respond), championed the new Drone System, and instituted the Live 911 system, giving officers real time information for more effective and faster responses. He also helped create the Homeless Outreach Team program to assist homeless getting off the streets and transition into a better life.

District 1 City Councilmember

Chuck Sanfilippo

Chuck Sanfilippo was born and raised in the South Bay and has been a resident of Chula Vista for over 25 years. Like many South Bay families, Chuck was raised in an immigrant, blue-collar household. His mother was a waitress at IHOP and his father was a fisherman. They didn’t have much, but they were determined to build a better life for their family. From a young age, Chuck’s parents instilled in him the values of hard work, respect and discipline.

Chuck began his career as a military defense contractor. For 10 years, he worked at General Dynamics Convair & Space Systems in the Industrial Security Division. After the closure of the facilities, Chuck transitioned to a new career in construction as a Heavy Equipment Operator. Chuck worked his way up and eventually started his own small business in the construction industry.
