City Heights Looks Ahead to 2020 Presidential Election
By Marielena Castellanos
All across the country, voter enthusiasm was at an all-time high this past midterm election, including here in San Diego.
As many as 31 million ballots had already been cast nationwide just days before the election, the New York Times reported.
On election day, inside a small room in City Heights, volunteers moved in and out throughout the day in what capsulated the final day of get out the vote efforts to neighborhoods ignored by traditional political campaigns. The energy and enthusiasm of the election was also felt there.
Brenda Diaz, the Civic Engagement Team Lead with the non-profit Mid-City Community Advocacy Network (CAN) talked about the response from residents as volunteers called and knocked on the doors of their homes to go out and vote.
