Will Rodriguez-Kennedy was elected chair of the San Diego County Democratic Party on Tuesday in an emotional Zoom meeting of the party’s Central Committee.
Rodriguez-Kennedy, who stepped aside as party chair in May 2022 amid sex-assault accusations, defeated former South Area Vice Chair Sara Ochoa 37-27, with three votes going to last-minute candidate Lori Saldaña, the former Assembly member.
No charges were made in the case, and a lawsuit by Rodriguez-Kennedy’s former boyfriend was dropped.
Becca Taylor was elected chair in January 2023 to succeed Rodriguez-Kennedy after he stepped down. Taylor lost her life in a motorcycle crash in July 2024.
Taylor was succeeded by Kyle Krahel-Frolander (who quit the chair role to run for county supervisor in the North County) and then by Ross Pike, who ran Tuesday night’s 3-hour meeting.
After defeating a motion to delay the chair election (by a vote of 51-16), all three candidates made opening and closing statements and took questions.
Then, with the three rivals put into a waiting room, the Central Committee debated the merits of each candidate, who would serve as chair until January 2027.
Pike warned against any negativity or they would be muted. He didn’t have to.
