DescriptionSan Diego City Council candidate Kelvin Barrios, who is under fire for financial irregularities, announced Monday he is ending his campaign for District 9.

“It is with a deep heart and heavy soul that today I announce that I will be suspending my campaign,” said Barrios in a statement. “While this decision wasn’t taken lightly, I am now sure that it is the right thing to do.”

Barrios is a former aide to City Council President Georgette Gómez, who represents the district now but is running for Congress and will step down after the election.

In August, Barrios issued a public apology for financial errors involving expense reimbursements by the San Diego County Young Democrats five years ago and reporting errors made when he served as the treasurer and campaign manager for a Chula Vista school board candidate.
