Immigrants and Seniors
Services that support veterans, immigrants and seniors are
consistently in the crosshairs of political debates. Forced to bear
the brunt of polarizing Washington, D.C. policies; veterans,
immigrants and seniors in San Diego County are left vulnerable.
Supervisor Nathan Fletcher is taking actions locally to deliver the
supportive resources these communities deserve. He has taken
meaningful legislative action to help immigrants by introducing
bipartisan solutions to address the migrant crisis in San Diego and
take on the Trump Administration. He also successfully pushed for the
County budget to include supportive legal services for immigrants.
Supervisor Fletcher, a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran, has testified
before congressional committees on veteran housing programs, fought
the Trump Administration’s efforts to privatize VA hospitals and
created new County positions to support veterans. His advocacy during
the County budget process and votes during Board meetings has resulted
in hundreds-of-millions of dollars being leveraged for supportive
housing, nutrition and medical programs and increased staffing for seniors.
