Supervisor LawsonRemer’s amendment to put $700,000 toward voter outreach in special election fails. The urge to spend $700K of taxpayer dollars, without a plan, was not met with support from any of the other San Diego County Supervisors.
SAN DIEGO – The county Board of Supervisors has voted 4-0 to advance a resolution, which will be presented at the board’s May 23 meeting, calling for special election on Aug. 15 to fill the District 4 supervisors’ seat being vacated by Nathan Fletcher in a little less than two weeks.The overall consensus from the four San Diego County Supervisors was that a special election among District 4 residents was the best option, despite the hefty price tag, because Nathan Fletcher has about 3.
The Registrar of Voters already has a budget and staff dedicated to working on non-partisan voter outreach strategies, but Lawson-Remer’s proposal was to go even farther, as she said “low propensity voters” would not know a special election was being held. Supervisor Jim Desmond then said if the board were to put money towards Lawson-Remer’s definition of “voter outreach,” they must be very careful not to “put their finger on the scale,” and influence voters.
