What is the cost to taxpayers when you have a lack of leadership and executive experience at City Hall?
Take the City’s purchase of the old Sempra Energy building on Ash Street, approved right before I joined the council. Cost to taxpayers:
|
|
- Purchased at a price of more than $127 million over 20 years
- $20 million+ in cost overruns for tenant improvements
- $18,000 in lease-to-own rent paid EVERY DAY since 2016 while the building is vacant!
- And potentially MILLIONS of dollars defending lawsuits

Who the heck was doing the due-diligence on this deal?
|
|
We need to know how much this mess is going to cost to clean up.
Todd Gloria made the motion to purchase and Scott Sherman seconded it, putting this massive liability onto the taxpayers. Now THEY want to run the City???
That’s why I’m calling for an independent audit on Ash Street now!
|
|
|
Now they’ll do what too many politicians do: Walk away from bad decisions and ignore the consequences.
As Mayor, I’ll stand up for taxpayers. I’ll expose the political insiders who waste our hard-earned money that would be better spent dealing with big problems like street repair, public safety and homelessness.
And that’s why I’m the ONLY candidate with the independence and experience to clean up this mess at City Hall and protect our neighborhoods.

Finally, if you saw the poll that came out the other day -- great news:
|
|
|
In the mayor’s race, a positive sign for Bry is her strong favorability rating among voters familiar with her. Such voters view Bry favorably at a rate of 3-to-1, while Gloria’s rate is just over 2-to-1 and Sherman’s is less than 2-to-1.
|
|
It’s clear: when voters know about me, they vote for me. That means, if we get our message out, we win.
Here’s the problem: Todd Gloria and Scott Sherman have two powerful political parties that can spend an unlimited amount of money on “member communications” to voters.
Here’s the reality: Scott Sherman has ZERO chance to beat Todd Gloria in November. A vote for Scott Sherman is, simply, a vote for Todd Gloria.
Here’s my question for you: Can you contribute today so we can get the message out?
We have a POWERFUL television commercial almost ready to launch.
We have hundreds of volunteers.
We are defining the issues in this race.
But without YOUR support, San Diegans will have to choose between two sides of the same-old political establishment in November.

Please contribute $5, $25, $250, or even $1,150 today and think about, if I’m your Mayor, just how much of your tax dollars I can save you tomorrow.

Clean up the mess!
