Mara Elliott is an American elected official in San Diego, California who serves as the San Diego City Attorney. Elliott is the first woman, and first Latina, to serve as City Attorney in San Diego’s history.
She is a Democrat, although city attorney positions are officially nonpartisan per California state law.
Elliott received her undergraduate degree from University of California, Santa Barbara, majoring in English and Philosophy. She then received her law degree from the McGeorge School of Law.
Elliott was one of four Democrats to run for City Attorney. Unlike her opponents, Elliott did not receive many of the typical endorsements from the various local democratic groups. Her second-place victory in the June primary was considered an upset due to her opponents out raising and out spending her. In the November runoff, she defeated Robert Hickey, a Republican, by a margin of 57 to 42.
