Leagues of Women Voters San Diego & North County Endorses Measure B

SAN DIEGO, CA—Today, the Yes on B campaign has announced that the nonpartisan Leagues of Women Voters of San Diego and North County have endorsed Measure B, the San Diego Health & Safety Act, joining firefighters, nurses, community advocates and others in the fight to pass the citizen-led initiative to protect San Diego County’s critical public safety and health services.

The Leagues’ board of directors voted to endorse the measure given the health and environmental issues that the Leagues have long supported plus the need to support our most vulnerable families in the face of federal cuts.
