When Will Rodriguez-Kennedy took over San Diego’s Democratic Party, he proposed setting the party’s electoral priorities around a straightforward metric: whether the race flips a seat on the board for SANDAG, the regional agency revamping the county’s transportation system, and all the infrastructure spending that goes with it.
His “SANDAG Strategy” was one part a solution to a recurring party problem: the perception that races were prioritized arbitrarily or by the influence of candidates running in them. And another part was recognition of a shift at SANDAG, once an uncontroversial agency where most decisions were unanimous, and now one of the region’s most combative partisan arenas.
