San Diego Young Republicans Endorse Jim Desmond for Congress
The San Diego Young Republicans have officially endorsed Supervisor Jim Desmond in his campaign for California’s 49th Congressional District, citing his strong leadership and dedication to restoring economic opportunity for young professionals and families struggling under the weight of burdensome taxes and failed policies.
“The San Diego Young Republicans are proud to support Jim Desmond in his campaign for California’s 49th Congressional District,” said Mariko Nakawatase, President & Chairwoman of the San Diego Young Republicans. “As a proven leader and dedicated public servant, Jim has consistently fought for lower taxes, safer communities, and a stronger economy throughout San Diego County. Young conservatives in San Diego deserve leaders who will push back against reckless spending, government overreach, and surging crime—and Jim Desmond has a proven track record of doing just that. He recognizes the hurdles faced by young professionals, students, and entrepreneurs and is committed to revitalizing the California Dream for the next generation.”
Jim Desmond, a longtime advocate for fiscal responsibility and economic growth, welcomed the endorsement, emphasizing the urgent need to make California affordable again.
“Young people in San Diego are being crushed by skyrocketing taxes, unaffordable housing, and out-of-control inflation—all direct results of failed Democrat policies,” said Desmond. “We’re losing our future leaders, workers, and entrepreneurs because they simply can’t afford to live here. Washington needs leaders who will fight to lower the cost of living, cut taxes, and restore public safety. I’m honored to have the support of the San Diego Young Republicans and will continue fighting to bring real solutions to the people of this district.”
As a County Supervisor and former mayor, Desmond has worked tirelessly to oppose tax increases, advocate for common-sense economic policies, and support law enforcement in keeping communities safe. His campaign for Congress is focused on bringing responsible leadership to Washington and ensuring that future generations have the opportunity to thrive in California.
