SAN DIEGO
The divisiveness that marked San Diego’s choice last week of Dr. Jennifer Campbell as City Council president didn’t extend to Campbell’s choices Tuesday to lead key council committees.
Campbell tapped Monica Montgomery Steppe, whom Campbell edged out for council president in a 5-4 vote Thursday, to continue leading the council’s Public Safety Committee, a pivotal job in a year when law enforcement reform will be a hot topic.
Campbell also selected Sean-Elo Rivera, who supported Montgomery Steppe for council president, to lead the council’s Environment Committee, which could be more high-profile with the new Democrat-dominated council focused on climate change.
