“I am happy to continue to represent the North County tribal reservations along with the inland North County unincorporated areas and the cities of Oceanside, Vista and San Marcos. “I’m disappointed to no longer represent Carlsbad and Rancho Santa Fe,” Desmond said in an e-mail.
They also include the unincorporated communities of Fallbrook, Bonsall, Rainbow, Valley Center, Borrego Springs and several tribal reservations.ĭesmond said that’s a bittersweet tradeoff to lose jurisdictions that have historically been part of the North County region. The boundaries for District 5 now include the state Route 78 cities of Escondido, San Marcos, Vista and Oceanside as well as Camp Pendleton. The updated version adds the city of Escondido and moves the city of Carlsbad to District 3. The new map maintains District 5, represented by Supervisor Jim Desmond, as a North County district, but with key changes. “Each community is unique and defined by its identity, needs, and people and I am excited to get to know a few new communities and work to deliver for them,” Fletcher said in an e-mail. The District 4 population is more than 38 percent White, 33 percent Latino, 13 percent Asian and 8.7 percent Black - the highest percentage of Black residents of any district.įletcher said he’s eager to learn about new areas in his district and build relationships with those communities. It forms an ethnically diverse district with high numbers of minority voters and immigrant and refugee communities. In District 4, served by Board of Supervisors Chair Nathan Fletcher, central portions of the city of San Diego including City Heights and North Park join Lemon Grove, La Mesa and the communities of Rancho San Diego, Campo, Paradise Hills and part of Spring Valley. “Sea-level rise, coastal erosion, stormwater pollution, rising housing costs, and traffic are all important to this district and I will continue to fight for aggressive action from our county government as the representative for District 3.” “As a resident of Encinitas, I know that this new district shares many of the same priorities,” she said. Lawson-Remer said she’s sorry to lose some of the communities she represented, but believes the interests of the new district will align well. Its total population is almost 59 percent White, nearly 19 percent Asian, more than 13 percent Latino and 1.8 percent Black. The placement of El Cajon triggered a flurry of last-minute changes after it was initially included with urban neighborhoods in District 4 under the final draft map.ĭistrict 3, represented by Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer, forms a coastal district extending from Coronado to Carlsbad. Anderson declined to comment on the new supervisorial district. Vargas could not be reached for comment.ĭistrict 2, represented by by Supervisor Joel Anderson, covers East County and much of the unincorporated backcountry, along with the cities of El Cajon, Santee and Poway.
Its total population is also about 17 percent White, more than 11 percent Asian and 5.3 percent Black. More than 61 percent of its total population, and more than 52 percent of its voting-age citizens are Latino, creating a voting block with the power to elect its candidates of choice. 14, establishes District 1, currently represented by Supervisor Nora Vargas, as a minority-majority Latino district in South San Diego, including the cities of Imperial Beach, National City and Chula Vista. New voting maps for San Diego County will shift the lines of representation, establishing a majority Latino district in South County, and another central district with high numbers of Latino, Asian, Black and immigrant populations.
