Apart from two County Supervisors being termed out, County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar is up for reelection. Her seat is more than highly coveted\u2014if one of the Democratic candidates beats her, then Democrats will be all but guaranteed to gain the majority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Diego\u2019s labor unions\u2014SEIU, to be precise\u2014are more than aware of this opportunity and have begun pumping funds into the race in support of the Democrats running against Gaspar, using their dues to launch huge fundraising initiatives without any regard for where their members would prefer to see their fees going.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be clear, they\u2019ve been doing this for years. Under the guise of supporting working-class San Diegans, labor unions have covertly allied with Democrats in order to gain more prowess and push forward their own agendas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their goal? To create more project-labor agreements and strip non-union private contractors of their hard-earned jobs and contracts with local governments. Gaspar\u2014a pro-employee business owner who has had her own conflicts with labor unions\u2014knows that it\u2019s exactly why they\u2019re going after her seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#39;s face it, labor union SEIU isn&#39;t your grandparents\u2019 union. It\u2019s all about power, politics &amp; wanting control of Bd of Supervisors so they can triple costs of projects. You think SD is expensive now? It\u2019ll be worse if they unseat me. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KUSINews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KUSINews<\/a> interview:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qQkqJYqP6M\">https:\/\/t.co\/qQkqJYqP6M<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V12Y7Ywrbp\">pic.twitter.com\/V12Y7Ywrbp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kristin Gaspar (@KristinDGaspar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KristinDGaspar\/status\/1214684450111406080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe can\u2019t give up.

They\u2019ve avoided playing into the hands of labor unions in the past, and need to do so again this year. Now, more than ever, we\u2019re relying on the integrity of our citizens to do what\u2019s right for District 3 and all of San Diego County\u2014and that&#8217;s re-electing Kristin Gaspar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dhuiz\/14681461476\/in\/photolist-onmk19-6DWWQa-5jfBKC-Jc6MiP-4QQAxq-5jfBDw-4w1XaE-orweg5-dmxpT7-dmxnNr-8SmUwb-7WVb8t-9A7mz-hseTJM-bwJxPa-EGVUt5-q7JeDF-bwJy18-aQdHA6-UwJqm9-R2Ftsd-9vUcCL-4G3UB9-R3Bhgg-j6dUHb-a6ijwJ-63NHMS-beUuX8-aUujx4-dPbG2A-cDGmjf-ozkxwp-9zsmth-rtCTQL-bReqQe-HJhG2E-TagG8N-dmxnEP-cgiJ1q-qr87BR-pqPKuL-64VQXv-5zJccZ-anuKGE-qr1HLy-awNMfA-qEHJfU-bipyTp-cF8PJN-CK5rzG\">Photo by Daniel Huizinga via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though every local election is important to San Diego\u2019s political makeup, the San Diego County Supervisors District 3 race is perhaps the most important of them all.
