An appeals court ruled against dismissing lawsuits filed by Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner and a local developer in a defamation case involving conflict-of-interest allegations made by a political rival, a campaign manager and an alter ego.
The lawsuits, which were filed in 2017, will return to the Superior Court for a jury trial.
The case stems from the 2016 Solana Beach City Council election, when psychiatrist Ed Siegel was one of six candidates vying for three at-large seats.
According to court documents, Siegel received a text in August 2016 from his campaign manager, Brian Hall, saying that they needed “retaliation” against Heebner, who said during a Democratic Party Central Committee meeting that Siegel was “not electable.” Heebner, who once owned a kitchen design business, had been on the City Council since 2004 and announced earlier that year she would step down at the end of her term.
