Hedgecock tops San Diego mayoral race in GOP bid
In the costliest San Diego contest, Republican Roger Hedgecock defeated Democrat Maureen OConnor to fill an unexpired term of Pete Wilson. Hedgecock won by about 10,000 votes as both candidates pledged growth without Los Angeles style sprawl. Hedgecock credited volunteers for reaching nearly every voter in roughly one million resident city. In Gary Indiana incumbent Richard Hatcher, a Black mayor seeking re election, edged Councilman Thomas Crump with about 54 percent in the primary, in a race with no Republican challenger and high turnout.
