With Temecula City Councilmember Mike Naggar’s announcement in June that he would not seek another term on the city council, the race for the city’s District 2 council seat has been left wide open. Naggar serves on the council from an at-large seat, but with the implementation of city council districts in Temecula three years ago, Naggar was expected to run in District 2, where he lives. Alisha Wilkins, Jessica Alexander and Andy Black are the three candidates who have qualified for the ballot in District 2; however, Wilkins, a Temecula business owner and chair of the California Commission on the Status of Women & Girls, was the only candidate to respond to Valley News’ questions in time for publication. The other candidates’ statements will be run, if received at a later date.
