Amy Reichert announces bid for Fletcher's District Four seat

SAN DIEGO -- Another candidate has thrown their hat into the race for Supervisor Nathan Fletcher's District Four seat, shortly after the Board of Supervisors voted to pursue a special election to fill the impending vacancy.

"I am excited to officially announce my candidacy for the County Board of Supervisors," she said in a press release. "I am committed to rebuilding the trust in our elected officials and strengthening our communities. It's time we give them the leadership they deserve."

Reichert is the third candidate to launch a campaign for the District Four seat, following non-profit CEO, Janessa Goldbeck, and San Diego City Councilmember Monica Montgomery-Steppe.
