Climate advocacy groups review voting records of city and county. They also review San Diego County elected officials on environmental policy, and most of the grades are good.
“We declared the Tijuana River Valley a public health care crisis,” said Nora Vargas, San Diego County Supervisor for District 1. “ created the office of environmental health and climate justice, and we’re ensuring we have a regional decarbonization framework that has an equity lens.”
The advocacy groups also graded the supervisors on votes for an environmental and climate justice office, the evaluation of the county’s transportation policies and preservation of open space. “I think this is a reflection of who we are in San Diego and as a region. For us, environmental justice, climate justice, is a priority,” Vargas said.
On the city council Joe La Cava, Monica Montgomery Steppe and Vivian Moreno earned A’s. Marni Von Wilpert, Raul Campillo, Stephen Whitburn and Sean Elo-Rivera got B’s. Jen Campbell got a C. Chris Cate got the only failing grade on the report card. Cate earned fewer than four points for votes on 15 key city of San Diego issues.
