Firefighters Back Roberts for Supervisor

Dave Roberts has the support of San Diego firefighters in his bid for the District 3 seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, his campaign announced Tuesday.

"Dave Roberts has made fire protection and the public's safety a top priority," said Frank De Clercq, president of the San Diego City Firefighters. "We believe that Dave is the most qualified candidate in the race for Third District County Supervisor. He will be the best representative for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day."

"I will work hard to strengthen the county's firefighting capabilities," said Roberts. "Firefighters are our first-responders and our first line of defense in the event of a wildfire. They need the manpower and the equipment to do their job. I strongly support the men and women in firefighting who put their lives on the line every day to protect our local communities and our entire region."

Roberts is currently the deputy mayor of Solana Beach. He has received several endorsements, including that of outgoing District 3 Supervisor Pam Slater-Price.
