MEDIA STATEMENT: SUPERVISOR DESMOND ON DISTRICT 4 REPLACEMENT PROCESS

Holding a special election ensures that San Diego County residents can choose their representatives fairly and transparently.

It’s important for the 700,000 people that live in District 4 to decide directly who will represent them for the next three years. The people that live in this district deserve to have their voices heard.

A special election will ensure that the residents can evaluate and compare the candidates, their positions, and their qualifications rather than be decided by four politicians outside District 4.

The people of San Diego County deserve a fair and democratic process that respects their rights and values their input.
