SAN DIEGO, CA — Martha Abraham, candidate for San Diego City Council District 4, today announced a 25% cash-on-hand advantage over incumbent Henry Foster, a clear signal that voters are ready for new leadership.
“The people of District 4 are speaking with their voices, and their wallets,” said Abraham.
“They’ve watched Henry Foster’s failed leadership erode public trust, and they’re investing in a campaign that will finally put our neighborhoods first.”
Foster’s lackluster fundraising reflects the growing frustration residents feel toward an
incumbent who has repeatedly sided with developers over the community he was elected to represent. From the Klauber Project to the Radio Towers to the D.R. Horton proposal that would sacrifice Emerald Hills’ last chance at a world-class park, Foster has consistently prioritized insider deals over the needs of District 4 families.
“We saw the ugly underbelly of this system on full display,” said Abraham. “Henry Foster has attempted to govern District 4 as if he’s the ruler rather than a representative. His approach has been dismissive, consistently limiting access for his constituents and ignoring our voices, even berating, belittling, screaming and cursing at community members. It’s an embarrassment; We can’t keep living like this.”
Abraham, a NICU nurse and founder of a home care agency serving seniors, has spent her career caring for the most vulnerable. A resident of Southeastern San Diego and Emerald Hills homeowner, she has emerged as a leading voice against development schemes that target her community.
“District 4 is worthy. We deserve leaders who listen, who fight, who care,” said Abraham. “I’m running because I refuse to let our voices be silenced any longer.”
Abraham’s campaign has drawn support from nurses, teachers, small business owners, and families across the district who are eager for a representative who answers to them, not to special interests and City Hall insiders.
