CHULA VISTA (KUSI) – Former Chula Vista city councilman and deputy mayor John Moot announced Wednesday that he will run for city attorney.
Moot, who served on the city council from 1994 to 2000, said he is running for the city attorney’s seat “because Chula Vista families deserve an advocate with real world experience at protecting taxpayer dollars, cracking down on corruption, and delivering equality for all. That’s what I did as deputy mayor, public defender and councilmember, and I’ll redouble my efforts as Chula Vista’s city attorney.”
According to a statement from Moot’s campaign, his endorsements include former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Congressmen Juan Vargas, Scott Peters and Mike Levin, and state Sen. Ben Hueso.
