Dear fans of inewsource,

You’ve heard inewsource investigative reporter Joe Yerardi say that San Diego’s mayoral election was turning into a real horse race.

You may have spotted him last night on Evening Edition reporting on the pre-election tallies that show two Democrats — former assemblyman Nathan Fletcher and Councilman David Alvarez — running neck and neck in the race for campaign money. The latest polls also show them in a close race for second place, with Republican Kevin Faulconer in the lead.

Now you can catch Joe tonight on KPBS (Channel 11) from 8 to 8:30 p.m. as part of the team providing live election coverage. He’ll discuss the big spending so far and how much more cash might be raised if there’s a runoff, as expected. He’s also ready to explain how the campaign disclosure rules change in a runoff.

You can check the latest updates to his interactive graphic, fund-raising map and searchable database of contributors here.
