By Rebecca King<\/p>\n

As this campaign comes to a close, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to our community. To my volunteers, who walked neighborhoods, hung door hangers, and made calls: thank you. To everyone who opened your door, attended a forum, hosted a meet-and-greet, or shared your concerns with me: thank you. To community leaders who met with me and offered advice: thank you. To be part of the election process has been an honor, and I don\u2019t take your help or willingness to listen for granted.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all those who endorsed me: the Coronado Firefighters Association (IAFF 1475) and Coronado City Workers (AFSCME Local 127); Council Members Carrie Downey and Amy Steward; former Mayor Casey Tanaka; former Council Members Bill Sandke, Whitney Benzian, and Susan Keith; former School Board Trustees Bill Seager and Katy Roberson; and San Diego County Supervisor Paloma Aguirre, who has been advocating for a fix to the Tijuana sewage crisis for decades. Thank you all for your trust in me to do what\u2019s right for Coronado.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m running for City Council because I love Coronado. I feel incredibly lucky that my family was able to move back permanently in 2018, after renting here from 2007-2010 when my husband was stationed at Naval Medical Center San Diego. Both of my children attended Coronado public schools, and this community embraced our family. This is home.<\/p>\n

My professional background and civic engagement mean I\u2019m ready to serve Coronado\u2019s best interests on Day One. I was a city attorney for Norfolk, Virginia, for 8 years, so I know how local government works and how to build consensus among competing interests. From 2022 to 2025, I served on Coronado\u2019s Design Review Commission, where I made sure developers complied with the Orange Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (including its height limits). I\u2019ve volunteered for numerous Coronado organizations: as a member of the school district\u2019s Guiding Coalition and the CoSA Foundation Board, as co-chair of CoSA\u2019s 25th Anniversary Gala, manager of the nonprofit Sand Dollar Too shop on NASNI, co-manager of 2024 Coronado Island Film Festival\u2019s Village Theatre venue, and as a member of the Coronado Woman\u2019s Club. I have been immersed in this community for 11 years, and I\u2019m ready to serve it as a Coronado City Council Member.<\/p>\n

My priorities are:Clean water, beaches & air: End the Tijuana River sewage crisis for good.Public safety: Support our firefighters and police, strengthen our e-bike ordinance, and enforce traffic laws.Preserve Coronado\u2019s character: Guide development that respects our small-town charm and history. I OPPOSE MEASURE D.Infrastructure: Build modern fire stations, replace our aging storm and wastewater pipes and pumps, ensure climate resiliency.Parking: Enforce parking requirements for new development.Transparency: Public access to City contracts and financials, and earlier access to Council agendas.<\/p>\n

If elected to City Council, I will do my research, listen to all viewpoints, and collaborate with my colleagues to act in the best interest of Coronado and its residents. On November 3, I would be honored to have your vote.<\/p>\n
