After very careful consideration, I’ve decided to conclude my tenure as County Supervisor, completing my first term this January 6, 2025. Due to personal safety and security reasons, Iwill not take the oath of office for a second term. It has been my honor to serve in public office during unprecedented times, including the past four years on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Whether serving as an elected board member on the Southwestern College Governing Board for seven years or as your first Latina County Supervisor, I’ve had the privilege of leading transformative initiatives in the County of San Diego and beyond for nearly 30 years, alongside many of you.
My priority has always been our community, ensuring that everyone can be seen, heard and have a chance to thrive. Some of my proudest accomplishments include spearheading disaster response and recovery efforts, navigating the complexities of the pandemic, and driving systemic change so that government serves all members of our community, not just a select few.
I’ve tirelessly to address the inequalities that have plagued our community for far too long. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together.
As a Guerrera at my core, I remain committed to continuing the fight for equity, justice, and human rights- just in a different capacity. I look forward to staying whole-heartedly engaged and active in the pursuit of a more equitable society.
Thank you for the privilege of serving as your representative. Your encouragement, guidance, and trust mean the world to me.
With love and gratitude,
Chairwoman Nora Vargas
County of San Diego, District 1
