Twenty-eight months after he took the reigns of a city burdened by financial mismanagement and political turmoil, San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders is in a tough fight this year to keep his job. Sanders’ opponent in the 2005 primaries is his biggest worry today — former Nevada lawmaker and businessman Steve Francis, whose ample personal fortune has allowed him to fund his own campaign.

Now nearing the end of his second term representing District One on the San Diego City Council, La Jolla resident Scott Peters has his eyes on another city post for this November’s election: the one held by controversial City Attorney Mike Aguirre.

The Carmel Valley News/Del Mar Village Voice sat down to talk with Peters about why he wants the job, how he’s qualified for it, and what he believes a new City Attorney can contribute to the city of San Diego.
