Last Friday evening a very unusual and very special event took place in San Diego.
The location was the home of the California Secretary of State, Dr. Shirley Weber, here in San Diego. The occasion was a fundraiser for San Francisco Mayor London Breed.
What made the event special in addition to the people of San Diego in attendance was the fact that three Mayors of the three largest cities in the state of California were present and two of them were African American women: Mayor Karen Bass of the City of Los Angeles and the guest of honor, San Francisco Mayor London Breed. The third big city Mayor was Todd Gloria of San Diego. But the power women outnumbered the men. San Diego City Council President Pro Tem, Monica Montgomery Steppe was present as well as Chairperson of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Nora Vargas. 79th State Assembly Representative, Akilah Weber, MD, was there along with her mother, the host of the event, Secretary Weber. The pictures reflect the excitement of the evening.
