CA-53: Georgette Gomez, Sara Jacobs Mulling Runs to Replace Rep. Susan Davis
The race to replace Rep. Susan Davis in Congress came into sharper focus Thursday with two fellow Democrats saying they are considering a run in San Diego’s 53rd District and two others declaring “count me out.”
A little before 6 p.m. Thursday, San Diego City Council President Georgette Gómez, 43, tweeted “[thank you] all 4 your love & support – I’m strongly considering it & will have an announcement soon.”
Gómez, elected in 2016, represents District 9, which includes Alvarado Estates, City Heights, College Area, College View Estates, El Cerrito, Kensington, Mountain View, Mt. Hope, Rolando, Southcrest and Talmadge.
Earlier, Sara Jacobs, 30, said on Twitter that many encouraged her to make a second run for Congress — after a failed June 2018 primary bid in North County’s 49th District, ultimately won by Rep. Mike Levin.
“I appreciate their faith in me and am seriously considering it,” said Jacobs, a granddaughter of Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs.
Meanwhile, emphatic no’s came from Sacramento, with Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego tweeting: “There is ZERO chance I will run for Susan Davis’ congressional seat. Final. Now stop texting/asking… I’ve got work to do.”
