The Republican, who left office in 2020, has recently been working on an initiative to address homelessness targeted for next year's ballot.
Former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer will challenge Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer next year for her seat in coastal District 3, he announced Tuesday, in his first attempt at office since his bid for governor during the failed recall campaign against Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021.
He enters the race for the 2024 general election as residents of District 4 prepare to vote for a new supervisor in a special election next month to replace former Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, who resigned in May in the face of a lawsuit accusing him of sexual misconduct.Advertisement “During my time as Mayor, we delivered real results on the toughest and most complex issues facing San Diego, such as homelessness, crime, and infrastructure,” he said in a statement. “As your next Supervisor, the history of inaction, half measures and failures that District 3 has seen over the last few years will cease, and I’ll advance new, result-driven leadership in the county and help set a new standard.
Faulconer, a Republican, served on San Diego’s City Council for eight years, starting in 2006, before winning a special election as mayor in 2014 and then re-election in 2016. He termed out of office in 2020 and then entered a crowded field of replacement candidates during the Newsom recall campaign.
During his mayoralty, Faulconer was credited with his handling of homelessness and coordinating with county authorities on pandemic response, which left San Diego with fewer COVID-19 deaths than many other big cities.
