Barry Jantz reports he was contacted by La Mesa councilman Dave Allan today. The La Mesa lawmaker has re-considered and will NOT run for SD County supervisor, 2nd district, against incumbent Republican Dianne Jacob.

Barry served 6 years on the La Mesa city council with Mr. Allan, so the credibility level is very high.

Barry’s full report is here:

Allan will now not run for Supervisor

This afternoon, David M. Allan of La Mesa filed a “Candidate Intention” statement to run for San Diego county supervisor, 2nd district, in 2012. The form is on file at the San Diego Voter Registrar. (La Mesa councilman Dave Allan is pictured at the Left.)

That may mean a race against the current incumbent, Republican Supervisor Dianne Jacob of Jamul, should she seek a new term.

David M. Allan is a registered Democrat according to Registrar records. This is likely La Mesa City Councilman Dave Allan. He was recently described by the Union-Tribune as “Dave Allan, who has spent a career promoting consolidation as firefighter, labor union leader and La Mesa councilman.”
