"Irizarry stated, 'These claims are a desperate attempt to distract from a simple reality: my opponent lacks the experience, judgment and qualifications required for this position.'"
"'If it were a mistake, Irizarry would not have registered under no party preference in 2015,' Canepa said in a statement."
"'It's one thing for an average voter to make this mistake - that's understandable. But if you're working in the office and running to be the Chief Elections Officer in charge of elections, shouldn't you understand the system better than that?' Canepa questioned."
Jim Irizarry, the San Mateo County Assistant Chief Elections Officer, stated he mistakenly registered with the American Independent Party, believing it was non-partisan. His opponent, David Canepa, contends that Irizarry's registration was intentional, citing his decade-long affiliation with the party. Canepa argues that Irizarry's lack of understanding of the registration system raises concerns about his qualifications for the Chief Elections Officer position. Irizarry has since changed his registration to no party preference and the Democratic Party, asserting his lifelong commitment to democratic principles.
