  • I've known Patricia for several years, but it was last year, when we finally had the chance to truly connect and spend more time together, that I realized just how much we have in common. Patricia is genuinely honest, kind-hearted, and an incredibly accomplished woman whose character and values are reflected in everything she does.
    Dr. Abena Bradford, business owner
  • Patricia Dillard is a dedicated La Mesa City Councilmember, a mother, a wife, a successful businesswoman, and a longtime resident of the Mt. Nebo neighborhood. She's a friend to her neighbors, a trusted ally to local businesses, and someone who serves our community with respect and heart. She makes thoughtful decisions that impact people like me, my family, my friends, and my neighborhood. What's good for me is good for La Mesa. That's why I'm proud to endorse Patricia Dillard for Mayor of La Mesa.
    Allan Durden, resident and business owner
  • Patricia Dillard has my vote. I think she has the best interest of La Mesa and the people who live here. I know she's committed to a balanced approach, spending time to make sound decisions. I think she will consider both businesses and citizens when voting on issues. She supported the citizens police oversight committee and worked hard organizing a career fair for high school students. It was incredibly informative and helpful for my teen. I think as mayor she will try to hear both sides of an argument and will always make informed choices.
    Teri Andre, La Mesa resident
