San Diego, CA–Supervisor Jim Desmond, a member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors representing District 5, has officially declared his candidacy for Congress in California’s 49th District.
A U.S. Navy veteran and retired Delta Airlines pilot, Desmond has called North County San Diego home for over 35 years. He announced his intention to address pressing issues and bring effective leadership to Washington, D.C.
“The challenges facing the 49th District are growing,” Desmond said. “It’s becoming unbearable to live in California. The cost of living is driving working families and seniors out of this state.”
Desmond has a long history of public service. He previously served as Mayor of San Marcos and has spent more than 12 years as North County Supervisor. Throughout his tenure, he has focused on delivering practical solutions, ensuring public safety, supporting families and seniors, and advocating for the military community.
“I’m running for Congress because it’s time for change,” Desmond stated. “It’s time for common sense to return to our government. We need leaders who will focus on delivering real solutions on immigration, public safety, and homelessness. With my track record of leadership and proven ability to get results, I’m ready to bring your voice to Washington.”
The 49th Congressional District includes areas of San Diego and Orange Counties, covering communities such as Oceanside, Vista, Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, and Laguna Niguel.
