“As the Congresswoman who represented much of this district some years ago, I know what it takes for our area to have a respected voice in Congress in addition to that of Susan Davis. Scott Peters has the unique combination of personal skills and public policy background that will make him an outstanding Representative and a future leader. Scott is a smart, savvy and thoughtful person who commands respect from all sectors –business, labor, Democrats, Republicans and Independents. I have worked with Scott when he was President of the city council and as Port Chairman. As a former port commissioner myself, I know it takes a special talent to forge compromise out of complex and competing interests. Time and again, Scott has demonstrated the patience, the intellect and the commitment to develop solutions which benefit society. He will be a credit to San Diego!”
