2024 Election Draft Picks

It’s the last lap of this election season and we have updates on several major races in San Diego. 

Is Mayor Todd Gloria overstating his creation of homeless shelter beds? Yes. Did Terra Lawson Remer use campaign funds for her kid’s preschool? Yes. She has a good defense but it’s interesting. 

And in South Bay, the chair of the County board of Supervisors has created several enemies. 

Finally, remember that fake charity that had fake volunteers selling concessions at Petco Park? Well two of its workers are now running a new charity. The thing is, we cannot figure out what the charity does.

Uh Oh! More DeMaio

Coming up on the show this week… 

We’ve got more mailers here to dissect. We’ll cut through what campaigns want voters to know and what we don’t even understand like: Why are California realtors bullying a candidate for her poker playing skills?

There’s a newspaper endorsement that’s not really a newspaper endorsement … It is silly season in San Diego. 

To wrap it up, We’ll talk about a key school board race and the latest in the biggest race of them all – the District 3 County Supervisor contest.
