Dave Roberts, Neighbor

I believe I have the right mix of business and government experience to be our next Supervisor.  I have served as a corporate officer for a San Diego Fortune 500 company and started my own real estate management business. I am now a senior manager for an international non-profit association and a two-term councilmember and Deputy Mayor of Solana Beach. I serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the San Diego County Consolidated Transportation Services Agency. A nationally-recognized expert in health care policy, I was appointed by both the Bush and the Obama Administrations to national advisory leadership roles focused on maximizing the cost-effectiveness and delivery of Medicare, Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Programs. In addition, I worked for the U.S. Air Force in the Pentagon and Europe; and helped to create the military's current healthcare system.

Prior to being elected to the city council, I served on the Friends of the Solana Beach Library and the Solana Beach Budget and Finance Committee. I am a past chairman of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority and led the efforts to rebuild the park when more than 60 percent was destroyed by the 2007 fires.

I have served as an Alternate Board member of the San Diego County Polinsky Children's Center. The center houses abused and neglected children.

With a Master of Public Administration degree in Financial Management, I have put my expertise to work for the citizens of Solana Beach. I have served on the Fiscal Sustainability Subcommittee. I have voted for a balanced budget every year I have been on the council – without eliminating essential services. This is eight years of consistently good financial management.

While on the North County Transit District Board I have worked tirelessly to reduce fares and expand service. The San Diego County Taxpayers Association recognized the NCTD board, of which I am a member, in 2011 with the Golden Watchdog Award for strong fiscal stewardship.

I have adopted five children from the County ranging in ages from three to sixteen. I have lived in San Diego County for nearly two decades.
