Two familiar faces, Terra Lawson-Remer and Joel Anderson, were sworn in for another term as County Supervisors in a ceremony yesterday. Lawson-Remer, serving District 3, highlighted the strides the Board has made in bettering the lives of San Diegans, acknowledging the challenges and the fulfillment that comes from the role, "I've been a researcher, a rabble-rouser, an educator, an attorney, an organizer, an author – and after gathering a lot of empirical data during my first term, I can say with confidence, that being a County supervisor is one of the most rewarding, challenging, sometimes very surprising, and always fulfilling jobs that I've ever had," she stated in a speech, as per the County of San Diego.

Joel Anderson, who has held various government positions before his tenure as Supervisor for District 2, continues his mission to serve his constituents with a sense of honor and privilege "It's an honor and a privilege to represent my district and I love my job…," Anderson expressed, signaling his appreciation for the trust placed in him over the last 22 years and his enthusiasm for continuing his service, this summary reflects his sentiments captured by County of San Diego.

The same cannot be said for Chairwoman Nora Vargas of District 1, who, despite winning re-election, has decided to step down from her role as supervisor at the close of her first term, leaving the seat open as of yesterday. The County, following guidelines stated in the San Diego County Charter and Board Policy, is now tasked with deciding how to fill this sudden vacancy, with deliberations set for a special meeting on January 14, as reported by the County of San Diego.
