About This Episode
In this episode, we sit down with Paloma Aguirre, the Mayor of Imperial Beach and San Diego County Supervisor candidate for District 1.
From her humble beginnings as the daughter of Mexican immigrants to her unexpected journey into politics, Paloma shares her unique path to leadership.
Teasers:
- From Surfer to Leader: Paloma reveals how she moved from Puerto Vallarta to San Diego with just $500 in her pocket and a one-way ticket to Tijuana, chasing the dream of becoming a competitive bodyboarder. “I had big dreams about becoming a professional bodyboarder,” she says, but her path would soon take a different turn.
- The Water Issue That Sparked Change: Hear about the moment Paloma learned about the pollution affecting her local beaches and how it led her to work with the nonprofit Wild Coast. “I didn’t know we surfed the most polluted beach in America,” she says, describing how the issue opened her eyes to the struggles of South County.
- Grassroots Campaign Success: Paloma talks about her journey from activism to politics, including the grassroots campaign that saw her become the first Latina ever elected as the Mayor of Imperial Beach. “I knocked on every single door in IB,” she shares, revealing the hard work that helped her connect with voters and earn their trust.
