Two City Council seats, treasurer on November ballot in Carlsbad

Two City Council seats, a city treasurer position and a spending measure are on the ballot this fall in Carlsbad.

District 4 Councilmember Teresa Acosta, elected to her first four-year term in 2000, is the only incumbent seeking re-election. She has one opponent, Greg Day, a commercial airline pilot. Friday was the last day for candidates to file nomination papers with the Carlsbad City Clerk’s Office.

The other council seat on the ballot is the District 2 position held by Councilmember Carolyn Luna. A former city planning commissioner, Luna was appointed to a vacancy in February 2023 with the understanding that she would not run for a full term this year.

Two candidates have filed in District 2: Kevin Shin, a firefighter and restaurant owner; and Tyler Collins, a businessman and chair of the Carlsbad Housing Commission.
