Everything is lining up for Councilwoman Georgette Gomez to be San Diego’s next Council president.

Gomez, who represents the Council district covering City Heights, Kensington and the College Area, has not been shy about indicating she wanted the Council presidency, where she’ll control committee appointments and the Council’s docket, but also have the chance to set a progressive agenda for a Council with a newfound newfound Democratic supermajority.
