Supervisor Ron Roberts Wins Re-Election Facing no opposition on the ballot, Supervisor Ron Roberts has been reelected as the Fourth District representative to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. First elected to the Board of Supervisors in 1994, this will be Roberts sixth and final term as a result of voter-approved term limits. "I am humbled to be in this position and want to thank my family, friends, and most importantly the voters of the Fourth District. When we began this journey in 1995, it was to restore stability to a county in financial peril. Working in together with four other new supervisors, we were able to accomplish a turnaround that continues to pay dividends today. "But this is not the time to talk about past accomplishments, but rather to look forward to the future, to what we can do in the next four years. "For starters, we can build upon the overwhelming success of the new waterfront park with the addition of some signature art for children of all ages to enjoy, and the completion of our Little Italy parking structure. "Starting construction on the Mid-Coast Trolley extension, which will link our existing system to UC San Diego, several major hospitals and other key destinations, is a top priority. "While collectively we have made great strides improving San Diegos foster care system, I dont want to take my eye off that ball. We need to not just get these children through their tumultuous teens, but also prepare them to be productive members of the world that awaits. For that reason I will remain closely involved with the San Pasqual Academy and other programs that benefit foster youth. "The Pro Kids Golf Academy remains near and dear to my heart, bringing together at-risk youth and young golfers at a City Heights course where it is a members' dedication to schoolwork and community that earns them time on the course and the equipment necessary to play. "I will continue my work with seniors, supporting programs that help ensure housing, nutrition and their safety. "Air quality also will remain a priority. While San Diego County has the cleanest air in nearly 60 years of measuring, we need to get better, and we will, thanks to the work of the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District and the California Air Resources Board where I represent our region. "Much of the work we have done on air pollution is proving invaluable as we address climate change, which has moved from being a subject of debate to a palette of steps we can take now, and in the immediate and near future, to mitigate and lessen its impacts. "Of course public safety will remain the top priority. In partnership with the District Attorney, Sheriff and county Chief Probation Officer, I will continue to closely monitor the outcome of Assembly Bill 109 in which California handed to counties the supervisorial, and in some cases incarceration, responsibilities for a large new class of prisoners. Public safety includes boosting our regional preparedness for wildfires by building on our successes with the Next Generation Incident Command System and delivering firefighters in the field and their incident commanders more tools and technology that enables them to do an even better job. "Collectively, our efforts must serve to improve San Diego as a place to work, live and play, both for this generation and the ones that will follow. I want to thank everyone again for the opportunity to keep working with you as a member of the Board of Supervisors to make that happen." Prior to his election to the Board of Supervisors in 1994, Roberts served two terms on the San Diego City Council and the citys Planning Commission, and served as a managing partner for one of the region's largest and most successful architectural firms for many years. He and his wife raised three successful daughters who have added three grandchildren to the family.
