What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Vince Malfitano challenged incumbent Mayor Tyller Williamson for office in Monterey. The campaign is taking place against a backdrop of the city facing a budget deficit of nearly $12 million. Malfitano asserts that the city's debt is the result of failures in leadership, a claim that contrasts with Williamson's statement that the city has built up reserves since 2020.
