National City Mayor Ron Morrison and National City’s entire city council have announced their endorsement of Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre for San Diego County Supervisor in District 1 as the special election campaign begins.
The endorsement distinguishes Aguirre as the only candidate with the unanimous backing of a South County city’s entire elected leadership, and the first major candidate to garner a significant endorsement from outside the Democratic Party. Morrison is a registered independent.
Aguirre has advocated for local, state, and federal action on the cross-border sewage crisis harming South County’s clean water and air quality. She has also helped secure $250 million in federal funds towards fixing the Tijuana River sewage crisis.
“Paloma Aguirre doesn’t talk about solving problems — she gets to work and gets results,” said Morrison.
“Paloma has taken on the toughest issues from the sewage crisis to skyrocketing costs, and delivered for South County. Paloma puts people first and puts politics as usual aside and that’s exactly the kind of leadership we need at the country level.
“Our city council doesn’t often unanimously agree, but we are totally united in supporting Paloma Aguirre and urge all National City residents to join us.”
The District 1 seat was vacated by Nora Vargas on Jan. 6, who declined to take office despite easily winning re-election in November, citing threats to her personal safety and security.
The board’s remaining four members voted unanimously this week to hold a special election on April 8.
More than 376,000 voters living in District 1 will receive a ballot in the mail the week of March 10. The official ballot packet will include voting instructions and other election information.
The person elected will fill the District 1 seat for the remainder of the term ending in January 2029.
