Chula Vistans decided quite a bit in the June primary. The only
candidate race left is for a council seat between Larry
Breitfelder and Patricia Aguilar.  Breitfelder, who got 35
percent of the June vote, is president of the Chula Vista
Taxpayers Association and an Otay Water District director. He is
a UCSD graduate with advanced degrees from elsewhere.
Breitfelder advocates “instilling a more customer-friendly
culture at City Hall, adjusting fees and barriers to starting or
maintaining existing businesses.”  Aguilar is a retired
financial planner with a background in architecture and urban
planning. She has served on the city’s Design Review Board,
Planning Commission, Bayfront Citizens Advisory Committee and
Redevelopment Advisory Committee and has led community groups.
She was briefly a council candidate in 2008 and is the wife of
Southwestern College trustee Nick Aguilar. Her priorities
include budget reforms and economic sustainability, and a
commitment from a major university for a presence in Chula Vis
