The $61,000 raised does not include any personal contributions and excludes the $2,000 Leventhal loaned to the campaign to open the account. As a former Ethics Commissioner for the City of San Diego, Joe was restricted from officially launching his campaign until Tuesday, September 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m honored by the outpouring of support I have received since I launched my campaign for City Council on Tuesday,\u201d said Leventhal. \u201cThe financial support reflects the voters\u2019 desire for bold leadership, and I look forward to the opportunity to deliver results for this city and the people of Council District 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joe has already been endorsed by San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond, San Diego County Board of Education Chair Mark Powell, retired San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, and the Associated Builders and Contractors of San Diego, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Once elected to the San Diego City Council, Joe will prioritize solutions to reduce homelessness, public safety, and road repair. Joe believes that bold, collaborative leadership, as he\u2019s demonstrated throughout his life, is the best way to approach San Diego\u2019s persistent challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The 5th District includes the communities of Black Mountain Ranch, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Miramar Ranch North, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Encantada, Rancho Pe\u00f1asquitos, Sabre Springs, San Pasqual, Scripps Miramar Ranch and Torrey Highlands. The District\u2019s registration is nearly evenly split between Republicans, Independents, and Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Joe and his campaign for City Council, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joeforsd.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=0830a332a506c33aa50ab30c1&amp;id=b88dbd6a96&amp;e=86eb656be0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/JoeforSD.us4.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3D0830a332a506c33aa50ab30c1%26id%3Db88dbd6a96%26e%3D86eb656be0&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1568481923136000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHMf3z1FRGetQooT6_IP3OQt977kg\">www.JoeForSanDiego.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leventhal raises more in 36 hours than every declared District 5 candidate raised in the last full reporting period.
