San Diego, CA, September 18, 2026 —
San Diego County voters will have the opportunity to decide on Measure B in the upcoming November election. This ballot measure proposes the implementation of a half-cent sales tax.
The intended purpose of the revenue generated by this proposed tax is to provide ongoing local funding for several key areas. These include healthcare services, childcare programs, food security initiatives, addressing the ongoing crisis of sewage flowing from Tijuana into the region, and bolstering public safety efforts.
To assist the electorate in understanding the potential impacts of Measure B, The San Diego Foundation is currently engaged in a nonpartisan effort. This initiative aims to educate voters about the measure and its implications before they cast their ballots.
