Jerry Kern for County Supervisor

North County deserves a Supervisor who is on our side –
who will fight to protect taxpayers, solve our traffic
problems, and grow our local economy with good-paying
jobs while standing up to downtown San Diego politicians
who don’t understand or care about North County values.

Jerry and his wife, Blake, have lived in Oceanside for over
40 years. While County government is headquartered in
downtown San Diego, the decisions made by the Board of
Supervisors impact North County’s quality of life every day.
From homelessness to healthcare, and from the courts to
air quality, North County needs an effective representative
who understands our unique challenges and won’t settle
for the status quo.

Jerry Kern’s record as an educator and founder of a
pioneering charter school, as president of the local
Chamber of Commerce, and as an experienced elected
official with the courage to say “no” to special interests,
ensures that North County will have the effective advocate
on the Board of Supervisors that North County deserves.

First elected to the Oceanside City Council in 2006,
Jerry also serves on the city’s Economic Development
Commission as well as the Arts Commission. Jerry is a
veteran proud to have served in the United States Air
Force. Regionally, he represents San Diego County on the
Community Engagement Panel for the decommissioning
of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
where he is working with state and federal officials to
remove the spent nuclear fuel to a safer location.

Jerry is a fiscal conservative who fought to hold the line
on city spending, upgrade police and fire protection, get
tough on gang violence, address homelessness and the
county’s housing crisis. He has worked tirelessly to attract
new businesses that have strengthened his city’s tax base
and generated hundreds of new jobs.
