In February 2024, San Diego resident Helen Michelle VanDiver filed a lawsuit alleging that candidate Larry Turner was not a resident or registered voter in the city prior to filing his nominating papers, claiming instead that he was primarily living inEl Cajon . Turner denied the allegations, stating that he and his family have lived inEast Village since early 2023. Judge James Mangione of theSan Diego County Superior Court originally set the hearing date for March 23, after the primary election; however, after Turner advanced to a runoff with mayor Gloria, VanDiver's attorney announced they would drop the case following harassment sent her way, including an alleged attack on her son.[ 15] [ 16]
