Bonnie Dumanis is running… for Mayor Jerry Sanders’ third term
San Diego has a longstanding tradition of electing establishment Republicans, 
often with either military or law enforcement roots as its mayor. Before becoming U.S. Senator and California governor, former Marine Corps officer and Republican Pete Wilson was mayor of San Diego from 1971-1982. Wilson, a moderate to liberal on social issues, did limit the growth of the city’s budget, cut property taxes locally and helped revitalize downtown. However, he was against Prop 13 in 1978 (limiting California’s property tax and requiring a 2/3 majority for increases in state taxes) before he was for it. San Diego city workers opted out of Social Security in 1982 when then-Mayor Pete Wilson promised the city would provide taxpayer-funded health care for retired workers. This promise has played a significant role in increasing the city’s unfunded liability.
Happy MLK Day and How GOP Can Learn From King’s Ultimate Victory
As a fiscally conservative Republican, I think it’s especially important to recognize Martin Luther King Day this year. While not all fiscal conservatives may be able to relate to the racial hatred and prejudice Dr. King endured, we can appreciate his struggle to get his message out.
“People should be judged by the content of their character, not their color of their skin.” His message was simple, righteous, and most importantly, true. Yet he continually struggled with people trying to portray his message and his intentions as something different than reality. Sound familiar?
