An Army veteran is dead.
Kerry Sheron was 69, sitting outside the home he decorated with American flags, when he was beaten to death in broad daylight in Escondido.
No one should die like this in their own front yard. Praying for Maria and the family.
Borrego Springs has become the dumping ground for Sexually Violent Predators.
On Friday, I stood in court and told the judge what every parent in that community already knows.
This is about protecting our kids.
Deny the placement.
Grateful for every single person who joined us at Frontwave Arena for the State of the North County. Whether you were in the room or watching from home, the message is clear:
North County's best days are ahead of us. The talent is here. The drive is here. The possibilities are endless. Now we just need government to get out of the way and let it happen.
I'm running for Congress in California's 48th District, and I couldn't be more excited — because this community is part of who I am. I've spent decades here — not as a politician, but as a dad, a neighbor, and a pilot who built his life right here in San Diego County.
This is where I coached, volunteered, and put down roots. This district isn't just a place on a map to me, it's home.
For more than two decades, I've had the privilege of serving this community — first as a local mayor, then as your County Supervisor. I've fought to keep taxes low, hold government accountable, and protect the quality of life that makes this region so special.
I know this district — its families, its challenges, its potential — and I'll fight every single day to make life more affordable, more safe, and more free.
You won’t believe what my colleagues are trying to do.
They’re quietly pushing a massive increase to the property transfer tax — the tax you pay when you sell your home.
Right now, it’s 55 cents per $500.
They want to raise it to $30.55 per $500.
What does that mean?
➡️ Nearly $50,000 in new taxes on an $800,000 home
➡️ Over $60,000 on a $1 million home
That’s tens of thousands of dollars overnight.
And instead of debating this openly with the public, they want to hire a consultant to lobby Sacramento to change state law so they can raise this tax.
Housing is already unaffordable.
The answer is not more taxes.
I'm urging you to reach out to your representative and tell them to stop this tax!
San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond went to the border today and he says it’s dead silent there.
A massive contrast to just a few months ago when thousands were coming across a day under the Biden regime.
Men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports. That should be common sense, but unfortunately, our current congressman just voted against a bill that would stop men from playing in women’s sports.
This is exactly why I’m running for Congress—to fight for common sense. It’s not fair, it’s not safe, and it’s just plain wrong to have men competing against women. This is a safety issue, a competition issue, and an issue of basic fairness.
I’m officially running for Congress in California’s 49th District! As a proud North County San Diego resident for over 35 years, a U.S. Navy Veteran, and former Delta Airline Pilot, I’m stepping up to bring common-sense leadership and real results to Washington, D.C.
@bennyjohnson No one is saying you shouldn’t BE ABLE TO talk to whoever you want. We’re saying you shouldn’t platform this guy, on a moral level. But you know that. Grow up.
I had a great conversation with Tom Homan about border security, the thousands of street releases we've seen in San Diego County, and—most importantly—his plan to secure the border on Day 1! We must protect our communities, and I’m confident Tom has the leadership to get it done!
Today’s outrageous decision to turn San Diego County into a “Super” Sanctuary County is an affront to every law-abiding citizen who values safety and justice. The Board of Supervisors’ 3-1 vote to embrace this radical policy is a direct betrayal of the people we are sworn to protect.
This reckless measure not only goes far beyond California's already extreme Sanctuary State laws but actively endangers our communities by shielding illegal immigrant criminals from deportation. Consider this: under this policy, law enforcement is prohibited from notifying ICE about individuals, in custody, who have committed violent and heinous crimes, including: Rape and stalking, Assault and battery, Burglary, Child abuse and more.
I will not stand by while our communities are made less safe. I have already been in contact with the incoming Administration and will fight relentlessly to undo this disastrous policy and ensure that illegal immigrant criminals are removed from our neighborhoods.
