Democratic San Diego County Supervisor and United States  Marine Corps combat veteran Nathan Fletcher launched his campaign for the open California State Senate District 39 seat today, vowing to take his tireless work to serve the public to the State Capitol.

“In four years, and despite the difficult circumstances brought on by a global pandemic, we fundamentally changed the way San Diego County supports our community. We have made tremendous progress, but there is more to be done. Many of the policies and programs we introduced during my first term have recently launched or are about to launch.”

Fletcher was elected in 2018 after a campaign in which he vowed to be an agent of change who shook up a complacent county government that cared more about its bond ratings than constituent service… Fletcher has more than lived up to this promise, especially after he became chair when Democrats took over the board majority in the 2020 election and especially related to public health.

“Our new plan to completely revitalize the Campo Road corridor has been a community-driven process. Our community ultimately chose to reduce the number of lanes of traffic and to take things in a new direction to make their community more walkable and inviting.”

There have been big investments in mental and behavioral health care, more attention to homelessness and housing, an overhauled climate plan, a reversal on suburban-style development in outlying areas, greater focus on poorer and traditionally underserved communities, increased social services, better pay for county workers and improved access to county government.

Supervisor Nathan Fletcher has proposed developing a comprehensive integrated data system that allows county employees to evaluate if a person is at risk of becoming homeless and offer support to keep them housed.
