San Diego City Council President Georgette Gómez, a Democrat, officially kicked off her campaign on Saturday for California's 53rd Congressional District.
This comes after Susan Davis announced she is not seeking re-election in CA-53. This is a district Davis had won with roughly 70 percent of the vote in 2018. She's been in Congress since 2001 and said she wants to spend more time with her family.
Gómez was first elected to City Council's District 9 in 2016. In 2018, she became Council President in a unanimous vote. She is also the chairwoman of the Metropolitan Transit System.
