Recently re-elected Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Nora Vargas, resigns

Nora Vargas, the Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, announced her resignation effective at the end of her current term on January 6, 2025. This decision came as a surprise since she had recently been re-elected for a second term. Vargas cited "personal safety and security reasons" for her decision not to take the oath of office for her second term. Her tenure on the board was marked by leading through unprecedented times, including managing disaster response, navigating the complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, and advocating for systemic changes to serve all community members. The Board of Supervisors now faces the task of filling her vacancy, with options including an appointment, calling a special election, or a combination of both.
