🚨BREAKING: "Poll indicates tight race for San Diego's mayoral seat; 37% support Gloria, 33% voting for Turner"
San Diegans deserve real leadership. It's time.

Mayor Gloria has declined many public, live debates. Today, we pre-taped a debate that will air WED @ 7pm on ch10. This is the only way Mayor Gloria can operate: in a sterile, empty studio w/ pre-selected questions.

San Diego deserves leadership that puts people before profit, not backroom deals that waste billions. We were offered a free sports arena, yet the mayor gave the contract to a top donor instead. "Safe Sleeping Sites" are riddled with drugs, violence, and infested with rats. This
Where is Todd Gloria? Campaigning out of state for his next job in DC instead of here at Politifest 2024 listening to San Diegans. He cares more about using SD as a stepping stone instead of serving constituents.
There is plenty of money available for veterans experiencing

People are dying in the streets while politicians try to pass inefficient, one-size-fits-all ideas.

When I'm elected Mayor of San Diego: we're going to have an audit of all wasteful City spending DAY ONE.
Mayor Gloria wants a sales tax increase to "fix the damn roads" as he says.
San Diego is already the most expensive city in the U.S. Where do all our gas tax dollars go?
When we talk about building a better San Diego, it means doing so without sacrificing the well-being of our current residents. Erica Ranasinghe, a homeowner in Logan Heights, invested $30,000 in solar panels to save energy costs, only to find that a new housing

BREAKING: SD Mayoral Debate Dates Announced, Todd Gloria Dodges Public Debates

🚨New Poll Shows Strong Momentum for Larry Turner in San Diego Mayoral Race🚨
A recent poll by Competitive Edge Research reveals a tightening race for San Diego Mayor, with incumbent Todd Gloria capturing only 40.4% of the vote, compared to 31.6% for challenger Larry Turner.
Mayor Todd Gloria has no coherent vision for the future. We need to address the underlying issues that lead to homelessness.
#Homelessness
has increased 45% under Mayor Gloria. These last minute bandaids are an attempt to get positive stats to sell people before an election.
TODD’S CLAIM
“Dramatically expanded shelter for homeless: 931 shelter beds in 12 months”
REALITY
Below is a great article from VOSD last year that exactly explains the game Todd is playing with shelter bed numbers:
On Thursday, October 3rd at 8 PM, After months of dodging the real questions, it's time for the people to hold Todd Gloria accountable.
It's time for him to own up to his mistakes on homelessness, infrastructure and public safety. It's time for you to hear how he's mismanaged
Our elected officials report lower crime statistics - but how did they get those stats?
Our call centers are majorly understaffed - San Diegans are waiting hours on the phone. Crime REPORTING is down. On day 1: I'm getting those call-takers back in SD with the pay they deserve.
Once we’re able to accurately treat this crisis, the results will be felt by every San Diegan, and lives will be saved. It’s time for real solutions that put our community first.

"Tens of thousands of residents moved out of San Diego County last year"
WHY? Cost of living, crime, safety, infrastructure, homeless crisis.
This is about a serious lack of leadership. Our elected officials have proven they're in over their heads.
The mayor has to take responsibility when negative stories arise. You can’t take credit for the good & blame others for the bad.
I’ll do a 180-degree turn on this problem when I am in office. The mayor works for the people: I'll allow 24/7 press access.
San Diegans should have the opportunity to hear from both Mayoral candidates. Candidate debates are critical to upholding a fair democracy. My message to
@MayorToddGloria
: let's get on stage & debate the issues! Voters should be equipped with all the info when they vote on Nov5.
"[Larry Turner's] 23 years in the Marine Corps, where he gained a great deal of his experience and leadership qualities, resonates with voters and others who have served — and San Diego has many"
Mayor Gloria has announced a relocation of a proposed homeless shelter from H Barracks (Liberty Station) to Kettner Blvd.
The decision to move forward with this project, behind closed doors, WITHOUT public discussion/community input is unacceptable. Transparency is key.
Many San Diegans knew my good friend Giorgio. It was heartbreaking for me and others on Friday morning to hear about his passing. He was a true hero to our nation as a

. Like many others, he brought back with him the internal and external injuries and

that led
A common criticism of Mayor Gloria I hear from our community is ZERO access & transparency: Todd campaigned in their neighborhood, then disappeared once he won. When I'm Mayor, I will work from a mobile office so you can have access to me in your own neighborhood. I work for YOU.

My plan as Mayor is to create a continuum of care from street to housing which includes wrap around transitional services and ends with affordable and permanent supportive housing to blunt the cycle of our neighbors returning to the street.

The City of San Diego holds considerable influence over SANDAG - Mayor Todd Gloria bears responsibility for fostering a culture of negligence within the agency.
