The nurse who led efforts to cancel a controversial housing development in Southeast San Diego , is seeking to oust Foster III. In a similar fashion, his predecessor, Monica Montgomery Steppe, defeated then-incumbent Myrtle Cole in 2018.

Abraham and her supporters gathered at an election watch party in Logan Heights as the first results came in.

I was really just honored that the community believed in me,” Abraham told Voice & Viewpoint. “It is still early [and], we’re still awaiting the final count.” She said she is “appreciative and grateful” to her supporters.
