Tabby Kohmescher, San Diego Education Association teacher endorsing Measure A
San Diego Education Association
“I drive nearly an hour to and from work everyday because I can’t afford to live where I work. Our educators, our families, and our communities deserve to live where we work. Addressing vacant housing is how we move toward stability. Measure A is a step in that direction.”
Tabby Kohmescher
High School Science Teacher
George Duardo, President of San Diego City Firefighters endorsing Measure A
San Diego City Firefighters
“Firefighters risk life and limb to protect San Diego; the bare minimum they deserve is to afford a place to live in our city. San Diego firefighters stand in full support of Yes on Measure A because it would free up critically needed homes for the everyday heroes that keep our city safe.”
George Duardo
President
Johanna Puno Hester, Board Member of Alliance San Diego Mobilization Fund endorsing Measure A
Alliance San Diego Mobilization Fund
“For many families, finding an affordable place to live is a constant struggle. Measure A increases housing for San Diegans by holding greedy corporations and investors accountable for snatching up homes and keeping them empty during a housing crisis. That is fair.”

Board Member
Andy Kopp, U.S. Navy veteran endorsing Measure A
U.S. Navy
“As a veteran of the U.S. Navy, I support Measure A because it does something about the housing crisis. It increases housing availability for San Diegans by asking corporations and investors to do their part, while protecting military families. Houses should be for people, not profits.”
