He/Him/His Councilmember, San Diego City Council, District 3.
Today I was proud to march with tens of thousands of San Diegans. Make no mistake, this president is a greater threat to our democracy than any of the families he is cruelly ripping apart. #NoKingsProtest
My statement on homelessness dropping by nearly 14% in the City of San Diego. Read the full report here: rtfhsd.org/wp-content/upl…
Yesterday, my Deputy Chief of Staff, Ryan Darsey presented Kiwanis Hillcrest All-Inclusive with a poclamation celebrating their 4-year anniversary and community impact. A special thank you for making me an honorary member!
This was not just an attack on @SenAlexPadilla. It was an attack on our democracy. I stand with our US Senator and condemn this outrageous abuse of power. No public servant should be treated like a threat for doing their job.
If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.
I stand in unwavering solidarity with David Huerta and workers across California. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
The California Labor Movement stands in strong solidarity with our brother David Huerta. We demand his immediate release! @seiucalifornia
The USNS Harvey Milk honors LGBTQ+ service members who were forced to serve in silence. @realDonaldTrump & @PeteHegseth want to erase that progress. We won’t let our LGBTQ veterans be made invisible again. We stand with them today, tomorrow, and as long as it takes.
I had the honor of swearing in the new board of the @SDCYoungDems. These rising leaders give me hope for the future of our party and our region. Their passion, values, and drive will keep San Diego moving forward and I’m proud to stand with them as they lead the way.
Proud to join such an amazing group at the @VictoryFund Brunch. In a moment when LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, we need bold leadership and fearless allyship. I was proud to honor @RepScottPeters with the Allyship Award. He has never backed down from the fight for equality.
This morning, I stood with community leaders to demand real action at Park, El Cajon & Normal, one of our most dangerous intersections. Over 1,200 neighbors have signed our petition. We’re standing up for safety and calling for a serious safety fix for this intersection!
With tens of thousands expected to attend Elton Johns farewell concert at Petco Park, fans are encouraged to take transit to avoid crowds and use free MTS park and ride lots. Learn how to get to Elton John: Curebound Concert For Cures here: sdmts.com/rider-info/eve…
International legend Elton John will be in San Diego for his highly anticipated concert at Petco Park on Friday. fox5sandiego.com/entertainment/…

Thank you to @HRCSanDiego for their partnership in making our city a national example for equality and diversity. We will never stop fighting for a future that is more just, more inclusive, and more equal for all.
Proud to join regional leaders for the opening of the Safe STAY Wellness Shelter—providing safety, stability, and support for LGBTQ+ youth ages 18–24. Grateful to @theSDHC, @RepScottPeters, @MayorToddGloria, and all our partners working every day to uplift our most vulnerable.
The Abalone Journey mural brings meaning and memory to 3rd & J—honoring the legacy of Chinese immigrants whose fishing villages once stood here. Thank you to the @SDPartnership , the artists, and community leaders for making this vision a reality.
Proud to join thousands of San Diegans at today’s Hands Off rally. Our rights are not up for debate — and we’re ready to fight for them. We’re standing strong, united, and we’re not backing down. #HandsOff
We all agree, Encore is unfair! Thank you @SeanEloRivera and @StephenWhitburn for joining @IATSE122 and the labor movement in demanding Encore settle their contract!
“Today marks an exciting step forward in making public transit in San Diego more seamless and convenient,” said Stephen Whitburn, @sdmts Board Chair and San Diego City Councilmember, District 3. "We appreciate having the close collaboration with @Apple." kpbs.org/news/quality-o…
A successful Downtown is built on a commitment to improvement, and the renewal of the Clean & Safe program guarantees continued investment in enhanced services that keep our urban core cleaner, safer, and more vibrant. Earlier this month marked a pivotal moment for the program…
My statement on the urgent need for permanent shelter options.
It was a privilege to facilitate this morning’s panel discussion on “Navigating Challenges: Business Resiliency and the Cost of Doing Business in California” with our distinguished guests @AsmDarshana, @AsmTangipa, and Daniel Conway from @CalGrocers. #SDinSac
