"The Committee Chair"
$618,112 bought the two most powerful committee chairs in San Diego
San Diego City Council, District 6. The least-tenured member received Budget and Land Use & Housing committee chairs. $618K in total campaign support including $219K from the New San Diego PAC. 81% of donations from outside his district. The four biggest developers in D6 — building $178M+ in projects — gave zero dollars directly. Complete Communities approvals went from 170 to 1,917 under his chairmanship. The architecture makes the committee's own votes unnecessary.
