San Diego Association of Realtors supports Jerry Sanders for Mayor

(Reprinted from the SDAR Newsletter)

At the Friday, August 5th Board of Directors meeting, SDAR voted to endorse, with support, Jerry Sanders for Mayor of the City of San Diego. The recommendation for the endorsement came through the Association’s Government Affairs committee. The committee interviewed Sanders and several other mayoral candidates prior to the July 26th election.

The Government Affairs Committee and the Board of Directors strongly believe that as mayor, Sanders will be a proponent for increased housing opportunities. He has been a strong advocate for the City of the Villages concept (urban infill and the revitalization of San Diego’s older neighborhoods) and believes that quality of life may be enhanced, rather than diminished, with smart growth principles and urban planning.
