Comment in regards to interview dialogue - Chula Vista needs more small businesses than restaurants similar to Tres Cantrinas that are alternatives to the chain restaurants. That they provide good dining experiences. I think that is important to the community.

I am writing to confirm that Devonna Almagro was indeed a student at the University of San Diego. In addition, she was a key student leader in the Ethnic Studies Student Movement that successfully organized to get a much needed Ethnic Studies major passed. I am holding in my hands an important essay she co-authored that documented these historic changes. Our University owes her a lot. Best wishes, Dr. Perez Sara Kent Ochoa
Good evening, Mayor and City Council -
I appreciate the long legacy of Senator Steve Padilla and you have a huge responsibility to fill the vacancy of his Council term tonight.
Senator Padilla has had a groundbreaking legacy in many areas, but these include LGBTQ+ inclusion, climate leadership, and equity advocacy on a policy level. He has specifically drawn baseless conservative attacks over the years.
Tonight you have the opportunity to ensure that an appointment is made to complete his final term on Chula Vista City Council by a Democrat who shares our values.
Republicans are pulling together to try to bully you into a special election - the only way they might build a further pulpit for their exclusionary and hateful rhetoric and policies.
I call upon the three Democrats on this Council to reject this effort, and come together to appoint one of the many highly qualified Democrats who have applied to fill this vacancy.
Many of those applying are committed public servants who would serve well as your colleague over the next nearly two years, and will save the public a divisive partisan election.
I ask you to come together tonight, reject conservative power grab efforts to divide you, and uplift the majority of voters in Chula Vista who have elected you to serve.
Thank you.
Crystal Irving
Dear Mayor McCann & Members of the City Council,
I write this letter regarding the appointment process for Council District 3. As you know SEIU Local 221 is proud to represent over 14,000 members in the region, including the Mid Managers/Professional Association (MM/PR) that proudly work for the City of Chula Vista.
As a member led organization, SEIU 221 often endorses candidates for office, either for elections or for appointments such as Council District 3. In this case, our union did not have time to properly screen and interview candidates given the short time period for this process.
We believe the council should weigh the qualifications, experience and values of all candidates and choose the applicant that will dedicate themselves to supporting working families, particularly city employees and all residents of Chula Vista.
With that background, we do want to share with you that applicant Sophia Rodriguez is a member in good standing of SEIU 221 as a county employee. She has been an active member of the union where she has worked for strong contracts for her co-workers and has served on the Member Political Organizing committee, which engages fellow union members in our democratic process.
Thank you for your thoughtful engagement in this process.
Sincerely,
Crystal Irving
