  • I grew up in San Ysidro. I worked the fields at twelve. I was the first in my family to earn a college degree. Now I'm running for City Council because the community that raised me deserves a fighter, not a politician.

  • We don't get the same attention as the communities up north. Same taxes. Different city. Gerardo grew up in San Ysidro and lives in Otay Mesa. He listens, and he gets things done.

  • We don't get the same attention as the communities up north. Every single day this district pays into a city that spends it closer to City Hall. Same taxes. Different city.

  • Thirty years of being told it's being taken care of. Our kids still know what the river smells like every summer. Same questions, same answer from City Hall. We've paid the same taxes the whole time.

  • Be patient. Follow the process. That's what District 8 has been told for forty years, while the families who built this place can't afford to stay in it. We're not behind because this community didn't work hard enough. We're behind because we're last in line.
