Brian grew up in San Diego County and has been a leading voice for our region, fighting for safe communities, addressing health care needs, supporting small businesses, expanding workers’ rights, protecting our environment and defending Planned Parenthood. Brian has secured millions of dollars in funding for San Diego County to improve local parks, expand health services, support community patrols and renovate senior centers.

Having spent nearly 15 years as a single dad, Brian understands the pressures families face. Brian has a strong record of opposing new and higher taxes. He has worked to promote economic growth and protect jobs. He was named a Tech Champion by TechAmerica for his work to promote San Diego’s technology industry. He also received the Assembly Small Business Leadership Award from the California Small Business Association and the Board of the California Small Business Roundtable in recognition of his commitment to small business. 

Prior to the Assembly, Brian served as the San Diego Commissioner on Homelessness. Brian created Project 25, an innovative pilot program for people experiencing homelessness coupling permanent housing with intensive individualized support. The program was effective in getting people off the street into housing, saved the taxpayers millions annually and received numerous awards for its success.

Brian also served two terms on the San Diego City Council. He spearheaded the development and opening of State Route 56 and led numerous infrastructure improvements throughout the City of San Diego. He also preserved over 11,000 acres in the San Pasqual Valley from development.

After the devastating Cedar and Witch Creek wildfires, Brian led the recovery and rebuilding efforts. He created a one-stop disaster hub for victims that served as a national model for disaster response, uniting government agencies and services to support those impacted by fires.

Before running for City Council, Brian helped develop San Diego’s Community Youth Court, bringing together community service agencies, schools and law enforcement to provide intervention and help youth in crisis. He served as the Community Youth Court’s Executive Director and received the District Attorney’s Crime Victims’ Rights Award for the program’s success.

June Cutter is running for the California State Assembly to be a real voice for our community in Sacramento. An accomplished attorney and small business owner, June’s community involvement began at the local elementary school, where she served as President of the parent teacher organization from 2018 to 2020. June currently serves as President of the state-wide California Women’s Leadership Association, helping to launch women leaders in politics, government, and within the community.

The daughter of Korean immigrants, June was born and raised in Southern California. She graduated cum laude from U.C. Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. She went on to receive her Juris Doctorate and Master’s in Business Taxation from the University of Southern California, completing both graduate degrees by the age of 23.

June believes that a great education is the key to opportunity. She wants to make sure that our schools are providing the education that California’s children need to succeed – that means making sure schools stay open, that education dollars are spent in the classroom, and empowering parents to hold schools accountable for results.

As an attorney with nearly 20 years of experience representing businesses and individuals across the state of California, June has seen the challenges posed by burdensome legislation. She looks at the career politicians we have elected in Sacramento and sees that their main goal is getting reelected, not doing what’s best for the day to day needs of people in their community. She looks at their votes, and who pays for their campaigns, and sees that they work for special interests and lobbyists, not us.

June wants all hard-working Californians to have a voice again – to live their best lives and raise their families as they choose. She expects leaders to be guided by a moral compass that compels them to do what is best for the communities they represent; and she thinks that you should expect that too.

For over 12 years, June and her husband have called San Diego their home. They raise their two school-aged children in the San Diego suburb of Del Sur.  That’s who June Cutter is, and why she is stepping up to challenge Sacramento’s political machine. For her family and yours too.
