SAN DIEGO, CA (August 10, 2016) – Councilmember Alvarez has issued the following statement in response to the San Diego City Council’s rejection of the Consideration of Ballot Publication Requirements:
“Democracy requires that every voter be provided all information when considering a ballot measure. The proposal to remove the text of the two citizen’s initiatives from the voter pamphlet did not provide full public access and information to voters.”

That experience shaped his resolve to fight for social, economic and environmental justice. David represented District 8 in the San Diego City Council from 2010 to 2018.
