SAN DIEGO — Sara Jacobs, a Democrat, is a policy expert who has worked at the United Nations, UNICEF and on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Her family is well-known in San Diego for Qualcomm, the telecommunications giant founded by her grandfather.
She sat down with FOX 5 to share why she is running for the 53rd Congressional District.
A crowded field is competing to replace the retiring Rep. Susan Davis in that district, a generally left-leaning portion of San Diego County that includes much of central and eastern San Diego, portions of the South Bay and a slice of East County.
