Today, City Councilman Kevin Faulconer announced he would be running for mayor.
At news conference on Harbor Island Faulconer said, “Today I announce my candidacy for mayor of San Diego. Together, we will restore integrity to City Hall. Together, we will put an end to the dysfunction and get the city working again for the taxpayers of San Diego. Together, we will heal our city and create a community where every neighborhood is strong, and every San Diegan has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Returning trust to the Mayor’s office is the greatest challenge facing our community, and the only way we can unite behind a vision for San Diego’s future.”
