Todd Gloria, Mayor
Appointed January 29, 2025 by Governor Gavin Newsom
Term ends December 31, 2030
On December 10, 2020, Todd Gloria was sworn in as the 37th Mayor of the City of San Diego, America’s eighth-largest city. He was re-elected for a second term in November 2024. A third-generation San Diegan, he is the first person-of-color and the first LGBTQ person to ever be elected the city’s Mayor. A third-generation San Diegan of Filipino, Dutch, Puerto Rican, and Native American descent, Mayor Gloria’s lifelong career in public service was inspired by a lesson his parents – a hotel maid and a gardener – taught him at a young age: if you care about something, then you should leave it better than you found it. In 2008, Mayor Gloria was elected to the San Diego City Council and, after serving his first term, Mayor Gloria’s City Council colleagues elected him as their City Council President. In 2013, he assumed the reins of the City, beginning his time as Interim Mayor. In 2016, Mayor Gloria was elected to the California State Assembly to represent the 78th Assembly District. Mayor Gloria is a graduate of the University of San Diego.
