San Diego voters elected Pete Wilson, 38, a Republican state Assemblyman, as mayor in a runoff, creating the youngest city government in the city's history. Maureen O Connor, 25, and Jim Bates, 20, won council seats, edging older rivals. Wilson defeated Ea Butler by about 44,000 votes, amid Yellow Cab scandal fallout and indictments of eight officials.
