Lobbying

The city of San Diego’s lobbying ordinance is intended to promote transparency in government. Among other requirements, the law limits gifts to public officials and requires lobbyists to disclose on quarterly reports the names of city officials contacted during each reporting period.

Below is a list of San Diego Housing Commission (SDHC) staff members classified as “City Officials” under the city’s ordinance. Please refer to this only as a guideline because the list is subject to change every quarter.
