The Board of Supervisors is choosing our new County Manager – a critical role to working families’ future in San Diego County. Last year, the Board offered that role to Cindy Chavez – an outstanding candidate, qualified Latina, and champion for working families.
The board rescinded the offer and started the process again. Then, out of the public eye, Vargas joined the Republicans on the Board that have advocated for a status quo candidate to reverse that decision and shut the door on Chavez without transparency or public input. This stunt is an insult to working families, and a disaster for San Diego County.

By joining the Republicans and flip-flopping on this critical decision, Nora Vargas has turned her back on working families.
