Sobre este cargo
This contest is to finish the term that ends in January 2023. The district boundaries set in 2011 still apply.
Because this contest is to finish the term that runs from Janaury 2021 to January 2023, vacated by the January 2022 resignation of Lorena Gonzalez, the district boundaries set in 2011 still apply. See the map of the old California Assembly District 80 boundaries.
(New, redistricted boundaries will apply for the contest for the full term, serving from January 2023 to January 2025, but that contest is being voted on separately.)

Biografía
As a life-long community organizer and the first LGBTQ Latina City Council President, I have spent my life fighting for working families and underserved communities. I’ve taken on corporate polluters, expanded affordable housing, been a leader on protecting the environment, stood up for victims of domestic violence, and been a policy maker for progressive change. Some of my most impactful accmplishments at the City include passing a Section 8 anti-discrimination ordinance, updating the inclusionary housing code, formally opposing a wall along our southern border, keeping a library in my district from being closed, and leading the Council during the Covid-19 pandemic. I am running to represent the 80th Assembly District to continue this fight in the State Assembly for every family who is struggling and every neighborhood that’s been left behind.

Affordable Housing
When elected, Georgette wants to prioritize the housing and homelessness crisis which has been exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic. No one should wonder where they will lay their head to rest at night.
Georgette Gómez believes that it’s outrageous that half a million Americans are sleeping on the streets every night. As City Council President, Georgette made affordable housing one of her key priorities. She wrote an ordinance outlawing landlords from discriminating against low-income families and the housing action plan she led the City Council to adopt jump-started the construction of homes that working families can afford. In the Assembly, Georgette will be a tenacious advocate for ensuring more homes are constructed so all incomes levels can afford a roof over the head, not just the rich.
Tackling the Climate Crisis and Pollution
At the assembly, Georgette will address the climate crisis that has negative health impacts on the residents of the South Bay. The South Bay has some of the highest levels of air pollution and I will work to increase green spaces and protect our environment.
Georgette Gómez knows we are facing a climate emergency. That’s why she supports a Green New Deal to tackle the climate crisis and create millions of clean energy jobs. As a community organizer that fought back against corporate polluters, Georgette learned that change comes from engaging the community. We have a climate crisis and we must act now. Georgette is pushing for full implementation of San Diego’s landmark Climate Action Plan, which puts the city on the path to 100% clean energy. In the State Capitol, Georgette will continue to be a champion for building a sustainable, equitable future.
A Fair Economy
Georgette will work to ensure the advancement of working families by expanding healthcare access, combatting income inequality and fighting for good union jobs in our community.
While working families are struggling to make ends meet, the wealthiest corporations in history are paying their workers low wages without benefits and nothing in taxes. This is an unfair economic deal that starves our schools and robs workers of the opportunities they want to give their families better lives. Most Americans are working longer and harder for less. In the Assembly, Georgette will fight to create jobs that pay living wages, push to strengthen unions, and ensure that we are providing workers with important quality of life benefits such as paid vacation time, retirement benefits, paid sick leave, and paid family leave.
