2:00 | Stella Ursua’s bid to unseat Suja Lowenthal from the 2nd District city council seat came to a halt when it was determined that some of the signatures Ursua had gathered were not residents registered to vote in the 2nd District.
Ursua made the announcement Saturday in a Facebook post:
Friends/family, I made the biggest bonehead, rookie mistake of not checking whether those that signed my nomination papers had officially registered in the 2nd district…some signatures were not allowed and I did not meet the deadline for submission of papers. I apologize to all that had become involved and donated valuable time/effort to the campaign…kickin’ myself in the rear all night that I will not be in this race! Taking a deep breath, and reorganizing.
Ursua could not immediately be reached for comment.
