2022 election: Q&A with Ammar Campa-Najjar, Chula Vista mayoral candidate [Opinion]
Ammar Campa-Najjar, Spencer Cash, Zaneta Encarnacion, Jill Galvez, John McCann and Rudy Ramirez are running for mayor of Chula Vista
I also joined Lt. Gino Grippo for a ride-along to witness Chula Vista’s finest at work and learn the use of its live 911 technology, which allows officers to listen to dispatchers in live time and arrive at the scene quicker and reduce wait time. While there is always a need to improve on ensuring all of our residents feel safe in Chula Vista, I’m glad we have a department that is constantly innovating and thinking about how it can better serve.
Q: The median home price in Chula Vista is $732,500. How would you approach housing development in Chula Vista and encourage affordability amid the housing crisis? We can increase housing inventory by continuing to build further east, repurposing ghost Metropolitan Transit System parking lots into middle-income housing that is affordable, turning duplex two-story apartments into denser residential mid-rises and high rises, lowering costs for accessory dwelling units, and building more workforce housing for teachers, police, firefighters and other public workers so they can have a more personal stake in the communities they serve.
A: As mayor, I’d start by creating a commonsense plan toward our goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, in the county, our biggest carbon emitter is the transportation sector. In Chula Vista, we can start by leading by example by creating an aggressive plan to convert all city transportation fleets and service vehicles into electric vehicles. This includes trading in existing vehicles and providing the necessary infrastructure and electric charging stations for this plan.
