Georgette Gómez

Georgette Gómez (born November 3, 1975) is an American politician and community activist who served as president of the San Diego City Council from 2018 to 2020.

[2] Gómez attended Serra High School and later graduated from San Diego State University, where she studied environmental and natural resource geography.

Since no candidate received a majority of the votes in the primary, a runoff election was held in November 2016 between Flores and Gómez.

In June 2020, Gómez expressed support for a petition calling for a name change of the Andrew Jackson Federal Post Office in her district due to his history of owning slaves and his part in the forced displacement of Native Americans during the Trail of Tears.
