Board of Supervisors Chairman Nathan Fletcher said Tuesday he will not seek a third one-year stint as leader of the county's governing body, and publicly endorsed Vice Chairwoman Nora Vargas to succeed him in 2023.
"Her leadership of this board would be monumental for so many reasons, including the fact she would be the first Latina ever to hold the title," he said."I look forward to the work that is ahead of us, and I am excited about the possibility of doing it with Nora Vargas as the chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
She credited Fletcher for his"unwavering leadership during very challenging times, and together we've put equity at the forefront of every decision countywide." "I will gladly accept the nomination and look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure all San Diegans have a better quality of life," Vargas added."I will continue to do everything in my power to make sure that this county works for all, not just some."
The board is also comprised of Democrat Terra Lawson-Remer and two Republicans, Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond.
