While politicians made excuses, Paloma stepped up — pressuring Washington, challenging inaction, and forcing real progress.Now, Paloma is running for County Supervisor to take on the big fights politicians are ignoring across the board – rising costs, homelessness, crime, and the real action we need on South County’s sewage crisis.No matter the challenge, Paloma acts boldly and gets results. Fighting to make life more affordable, Paloma held the line on utility rates and actually lowered our bills for 2025. And while crime surged elsewhere, Paloma worked with law enforcement to go after gangs, crack down on illegal guns, and keep IB among the safest cities in the County.Paloma knows what it means to struggle and fight for a better future. Born in California and raised in Puerto Vallarta, Paloma watched her parents bus tables to give their family a shot at something better. In 2001, she left Mexico on her own to pursue college in the U.S., working her way through school and falling in love with her new home – Imperial Beach.Before serving as Mayor, Paloma was a community organizer for neglected communities and marine conservationist at local nonprofit WILDCOAST, fighting for clean air, water, and access to the coast for everyone, not just the rich. Paloma was also a competitive bodyboarder – often taking on the men’s division and winning. And yea, she’s got the trophies to prove it.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/5257e41c-216a-48b7-b915-90834e85b389/a10d805a-8462-45c3-8185-c72f167b4f09/a10d805a-8462-45c3-8185-c72f167b4f09.heic?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4032%2C3024&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">In 2014, Paloma was named Woman of the Year for her relentless fight to get government to act on the Tijuana River sewage crisis. Today, she continues that fight as Mayor of Imperial Beach, Chairwoman of SD Community Power, the lower-cost, clean-energy alternative to SDG&amp;E, and as San Diego’s leader on the California Coastal Commission. She has a bachelor's degree from the University of San Diego and a master's degree in marine biodiversity from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD.Paloma lives in Imperial Beach with her husband and their dog Dasha. When she’s not working, you’ll find Paloma in the water, bodyboarding the same waves that made her fall in love with IB in the first place.

Paloma Aguirre (she/her/ella)

I’m fighting to clean up the Tijuana River. Two of my opponents want to put a garbage dump there. Here's how the top District 1 candidates lined up on a bill banning a landfill in Otay Mesa.  https://t.co/CdZnBgGS7Q via @inewsource #otaymesa #otay #eastlake #chulavista

Another incredible day of canvassing! 🔥So grateful for the outpouring of support! From Chula Vista to Sherman Heights to Spring Valley we covered so much ground yesterday and all because of you! Our people-powered campaign is growing as mail ballots drop tomorrow. #votepaloma https://t.co/2zDJrLQuNL

San Diego County deserves clean air and water, and we desperately need the federal government to step up.

Yes @epaleezeldin, the Tijuana River sewage crisis is a disaster. I’m glad to see you got our letter asking for the EPA to help SD County solve this issue.

Please come to the border to see this disaster up close. I’ll take you on a personal tour of what our community is facing. https://t.co/2VZMjgClOh
