Aguirre Endorses Rodriguez for Mayor | San Diego News

San Diego County Supervisor Paloma Aguirre is backing Jose Rodriguez in the heated race for National City Mayor, as outgoing Mayor Ron Morrison steps down after 30 years. Aguirre, a labor organizer and councilmember, praised Rodriguez’s South Bay experience and his focus on affordable housing, air quality, and crime reduction. Rodriguez, who’s also highlighted his record on ADUs, school funding, and small business support, aims to steer growth toward residents—not corporations. Meanwhile, rival Marcus Bush—endorsed by Morrison—pushes public safety and local hiring. Rodriguez has also drawn strong backing from major Democratic and labor groups, signaling broad coalition support. Voters will decide the city’s next leader on November 3rd.
