Heather Ferbert for City Attorney

“San Diego deserves a qualified City Attorney who puts the law ahead of politics. I’m a Chief Deputy City Attorney. I’ve stopped fraud and opened emergency homeless shelters. I’ll take on domestic violence and illegal guns. I’ll protect taxpayers always. San Diego’s legal community supports me, but the most important endorsement is yours. I’d be honored to be your City Attorney.”
