SAN DIEGO—City Councilwoman Marti Emerald, lone member of the Jewish community now serving on the San Diego City Council, has announced
her plan to seek re-election in the new ninth district.
The council districts had been increased from eight to nine , resulting in the territory of Emerald’s seventh district being cut nearly in half. She said she decided to move from her home in Tierrasanta to a new home near San Diego State University in order to continue representing those residents who live south of Interstate 8.
If Emerald wins reelection to the Council, her new district would include the College area, Rolando, El Cerrito, city Heights, Talmadge, Kensington and such
communities along Interstate 15 as Mount Hope, Mountain View and Southcrest.
In making the announcement, Emerald said: “I want to assure all of my District 7 constituents both north and south of I-8 that my staff and I ill continue to
provide support and services until a new person is elected to represent them. It is my honor to serve the 7th District and the City of San Diego.”
