  • Supporting Hr 1280
    COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TUESDAY, MAY 04, 2021 MINUTE ORDER NO. 24 SUBJECT: SUPPORTING H.R. 1280, THE GEORGE FLOYD JUSTICE IN POLICING ACT (DISTRICTS: ALL) OVERVIEW On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was brutally murdered on a Minneapolis, Minnesota street by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. The murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, at the hands of police, and the events surrounding his death captured and highlighted the fear and deep distrust that Black, Indigenous, Latino, Asian American Pacific Islander, and all people of color have of law enforcement and the racial inequities and disparities that exist across the United States. George Floyd’s murder was a catalyst for a movement of people across the world demanding an end to police brutality, systemic racism and calling for substantive reforms. To address the deep-rooted reforms needed within law enforcement, shortly after the murder in 2020 Representative Karen Bass of California, Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey and then-Senator Kamala Harris of California introduced H.R. 7120, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act seeks to hold police accountable, end racial profiling, change the culture of law enforcement, and build trust between law enforcement and communities by addressing racism and bias. While H.R. 7120 did not move in the 116th Congress, the bill was reintroduced as H.R. 1280 in February 2021 in the 117th Congress and passed the United States House of Representatives in March as the trial of Derek Chauvin was set to begin.

  • Chair Nathan Fletcher State of the County Address Thursday, February 18, 2021 -- 7:00PM “Resilient and Ready to Rise” Remarks As Drafted
    Chair Nathan Fletcher State of the County Address Thursday, February 18, 2021 -- 7:00PM “Resilient and Ready to Rise” Remarks as drafted OPENING Good evening. I come to you tonight from the County’s Emergency Medical Operations Center. 370 days ago, our county was one of the first in the nation to declare a public health state of emergency on COVID-19 -- activating this site and others to respond. From this modest warehouse our region’s massive mobilization was equipped. Masks, ventilators, testing supplies, PPE, and now vaccines. At its heart, thousands of dedicated workers responding to the ever changing, incredibly challenging pandemic of the past year. A year that has tested us and at times divided us. A year of tremendous sacrifice and tremendous loss. A year that has shown us the very best of each other and sadly some of the worst. But through it all--we never gave up. We are still battling COVID-19... but the tide is turning. The last year has shown our enduring strength and toughness. As I stand before you tonight, I have no doubt: The State of our County is resilient. And together, we are ready to rise. Ready to rebuild… Rebuild our economy, our children’s education. Ready to restore…Restore our faith and trust in one another. Ready to reunite...Reunite both from social distancing and deep divisions. Ready to recover, rebuild... and truly build anew. HUMAN FACE Tonight, I present to you progress in our fight against COVID-19. And plans to set our county government in a new direction.

  • Analyzing Absentee Ballots Cast in San Diego Mayoral Special Election
    Analyzing Absentee Ballots Cast In San Diego Mayoral Special Election Executive Summary Early voting in the San Diego mayoral special election began on October 21st, and since that time, more than 110,000 ballots have been cast citywide. With less than a week left to go before Election Day, the National University System Institute for Policy Research (NUSIPR) projects a race to the finish line for the mayoral candidates. Using data from the Registrar of Voters office and GIS mapping software, NUSIPR evaluated early precinct returns in the November 19th election. From the last three weeks of absentee ballot returns, we found that: • Thirty-five percent of all projected special election voters have cast their ballots. Overall, NUSIPR projects that 46% of the city electorate (313,000 voters) will cast ballots in the election. • Democratic turnout is lagging Republican turnout. Despite outnumbering Republicans in the City by more than 90,000 voters, heavily Democratic precincts are returning fewer absentee ballots and fewer ballots overall than GOP precincts. • Turnout is low in Latino precincts and south of Interstate 8 neighborhoods. In most southeastern & border precincts, more than 85% of registered voters have not yet cast a ballot. • Election Day voters will make an impact on November 19th. As many as 100,000 voters will cast ballots at polling locations on Election Day, leaving the outcome of the race unknown. Absentee Voters Since 2002, California voters have had the option to register as “permanent vote-by-mail” (PVBM). This registration option allows for ballots to arrive automatically in voter mailboxes for each election.
