HOST

Todd Gloria.
Local government, representation & San Diego
A San Diego politician whose career has included service on the City Council, in the California Assembly and as the city’s mayor.
A career in San Diego public life
Todd Gloria was born and raised in San Diego and entered elected office through the city’s council. He later represented a San Diego district in the California State Assembly, where he served in leadership positions. His career has included work on municipal services and state-level policy, making him a figure whose responsibilities have crossed city and state government. The City of San Diego’s official biography provides a first-party overview of his career and civic background. [1][3]
The mayor’s office
Gloria became San Diego’s 37th mayor in 2020 and was reelected in 2024. His administration’s public agenda has included housing, homelessness, infrastructure and public safety. These issues involve city departments, budgets and partnerships with county, state and federal governments, so the mayor’s role is both executive and convening. This biography identifies his current public position as of the checked date; election and office details should be rechecked as terms change. [1][2]
Representation and city leadership
The City’s biography documents Gloria’s progression from City Council member, elected in 2008, to council president, interim mayor in 2013 and California Assembly member in 2016. San Diegans elected him mayor in 2020 and reelected him in 2024. The City also identifies him as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors for 2026–2027. Its current biography verifies those present-tense offices as of this check date. [4]
