I am Georgette Gomez, San Diego’s first LGBTQ Latina City Council President. Now I'm running for Congress as a progressive leader who gets things done. AMA!

I am San Diego's first LGBTQ Latina City Council President where I have taken on the Trump Administration and stand up for San Diego and its people.

You can count on me to stand up to special interests and deliver on universal healthcare, clean energy, living wages, equality and justice. Amid crisis – coronavirus and economic collapse - I am ready to lead and rely on science to protect public health and fight for a fair recovery that puts workers and small businesses first, not big corporations.

The Democratic Party, Teachers, Nurses and Sanitation Workers on the frontlines of the pandemic have already endorsed me and here's why:

When Covid-19 hit, I took decisive action as City Council President. I banned evictions, stopped utility shutoffs, delivered rent relief, and helped small businesses survive. After listening to doctors and experts, I acted swiftly to expand access to testing and protective equipment for first responders.

As the daughter of immigrants, I stand strong against discrimination, authoring the resolution opposing Trump's wall, banning dangerous police chokeholds and joining Supreme Court lawsuits to protect DREAMers. While wealthy corporations pay zero in taxes, I will put working people first, expand paid sick leave, lower prescription drug costs, and require companies pay women and people of color the same as white men for the same work. I will oppose any effort to cut the Medicare and Social Security our seniors earned. Now more than ever, we need leaders who fight for working families and deliver for the people. That's me– a progressive champion who gets things done.
