Candidate for
Mayor; City of San Diego

Carl DeMaio is a businessman-turned-civic watchdog who is running for San Diego Mayor. Carl offers voters a simple but timely pledge: Clean Up City Hall.

After years of financial crisis, draconian service cuts, crumbling roads and infrastructure, and little action by city leaders on a host of pressing problems, DeMaio is running for Mayor because "we cannot afford any more delays in fixing our city's problems."

Carl's platform for getting city government back on the right track includes a 90-page step-by-step plan for balancing the budget, reforming the pension system, fixing crumbling infrastructure, and restoring ethics and accountability to every level of city government.

"Fixing city government requires an experienced manager who knows how to make tough decisions and produce results in the face of big challenges," DeMaio contends.
