This week, I met with the U.S. State Department about the Tijuana River Valley pollution emergency, the Housing and Urban Development Department on homelessness solutions, the U.S. Navy about critical infrastructure, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration on the LOSSAN Corridor. San Diego is far from the U.S. Capitol, but with the support of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, our needs are heard, and partnerships are born.
