We are here to advocate for a fiscally solvent, safe, human centered San Diego.
Council president La Cava and Council President Pro Tem Lee are focused on the structural imbalances that have plagued the San Diego budget for decades. San Diegans benefit when our local leaders are brave enough to stand up for policies that work.
