Late Councilman’s Aide Elected to Fill Vacancy
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Young received almost 60% of about 11,500 votes cast in San Diego’s 4th District, an ethnically diverse area east of downtown. The seat had been vacant since Councilman Charles Lewis died in August. Young, 38, was Lewis’ chief of staff.
