By Phil Meinhardt

Expands biographical highlights.

San Diego government needs help; I know I can make a difference. San Diego needs, for the future, a defined contribution pension/medical system; open, honest, accountable management, and environmental concern.. To this task, I will bring the honor code of the Air Force Academy; strong credentials from UCLA Business School; demonstrated leadership/management experience with huge budgets, numerous contracts, and with direction for large numbers of people, both nationally/internationally. I will assertively represent the interests of the District/City to regain/maintain world-class respect for San Diego.

The City of San Diego has really come alive in the last eight years; it means that a lot of good people have been doing a lot of good work. There are some growing pains, but they are solvable. My mission will be to continue San Diego's quest for excellence.
