Kevin L. Faulconer
Council President Pro Tem
Council President Pro Tem Kevin L. Faulconer became Councilmember for District 2 in January 2006 after winning a special election. He was re-elected later that year by an overwhelming margin in the June primary election. He was re-elected again in 2010 and is serving his second 4-year term.
He chairs the Audit Committee, is vice chair of the Rules Committee, and serves on the Economic Strategies & Development Committee and the Committee on Budget & Finance.
Kevin is proudly committed to guarding San Diego's tax dollars and protecting our beaches and bays.
As chair of the Audit Committee, he worked to restore the City's credit rating and repair its credibility with investors, and he's focused on bringing financial stability and accountability back to City Hall.
Kevin has a track record of success and delivering results for the citizens of San Diego. In 2008, he took a lead role in drafting and supporting Proposition C, which passed with 67 percent of the vote. The measure ensures money generated in Mission Bay Park is invested there and at other city parks. He also campaigned in 2008 for alcohol-free beaches and bays, a measure voters supported. Alcohol is prohibited along the coast of most Southern California communities – and now San Diego's beaches are safer, cleaner and more family-friendly. In 2010, he and a handful of others led the campaign against Proposition D, which would have raised the sales tax in San Diego. Voters joined Kevin to overwhelmingly reject the increase.
Prior to being elected, Kevin worked in public affairs for more than a decade and was vice president of a leading firm where he managed complex projects within strict budget guidelines.
Kevin graduated in 1990 from San Diego State University. He and his wife, Katherine, a small business owner in the Gaslamp, live in Point Loma with their children Jack and Lauren.
