The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 Tuesday to select Terra Lawson-Remer as chair for a second time, with Monica Montgomery Steppe serving as vice chair and Paloma Aguirre as chair pro tem.
Supervisor Jim Desmond was absent due to illness, the board clerk said.
The board voted following a motion by Aguirre to nominate the leadership roster, which Montgomery Steppe seconded. Aguirre praised Lawson-Remer for her “steady, clear hand” in managing board meetings on Tuesday.
Lawson-Remer thanked her colleagues for their support, adding she appreciated Montgomery Steppe for her partnership over the last “extremely tumultuous” year.
“We spent the first half of the year without a voted-in chair, vice chair and pro-tem,” Lawson-Remer said, adding that the board did an excellent job of navigating those difficult waters.
Lawson-Remer served as acting board chair following the departure of Nora Vargas in January 2025.
After Aguirre won the July 2025 special election in District 1 to replace Vargas, the board voted 3-1-1 several weeks later to have Lawson-Remer lead the governing body, along with Monica Montgomery Steppe and Paloma Aguirre to serve as vice chair and chair pro tem, respectively.
Jim Desmond opposed the appointments.
Joel Anderson, who previously served as chair pro tem, abstained. However, on Tuesday he voted in favor of the leadership roster, but did call on the board to revert to its previous policy of having a one-year term for the positions, as it did before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anderson proposed that Aguirre serve as the chair and made a motion, which appeared not have a second.
Anderson, whose term ends in 2027, said while Lawson-Remer has done a great job in her role, every district supervisor should have a chance to lead the board.
