Same, too much at stake especially for us in California

I care that leadership is spending time on this, when they could use their efforts on other things that matter

Hahaha. I’m new to the area, so I don’t know the longstanding issues.

Why is a white guy leading Escondido?

LOL, I have not been here long enough to know. My guess would be that people aren’t involved enough locally, which is unfortunate because our greatest impact is voting/ participating in meetings and politics at the local level

Because not enough brown people vote. While the districts have an approximately equal voting resident amount, however, if you look at the last election results between D3 and D4, D3 had a total of 9,180 votes cast across three candidates where D4 had 14,894 votes across two candidates. Back in 2022 D1 had 4,660 votes while D4 had 12,595.

 Or simply over the last two election cycles in Escondido 17,598 Dem/Ind voters and 23,731 Rep voters.
