Description
After two terms in office, Chula Vista Mayor Mary Casillas Salas will deliver her final State of the City address at city hall Tuesday evening at 6 p.m.
Tuesday morning she told CBS 8 this moment brings mixed feelings.
She said she’s proud of all she’s accomplished while in office, but she’s sad because she will miss many of her staff members and colleagues.
“I feel the city is on the right path,” said Mayor Salas. “The preparation we’ve done over the years, the significant projects we have. Whether we’re talking about the Bayfront [project] which will be opening in 2025 or San Diego State’s and Chula Vista’s joint project to bring a cinematic arts program here.”
Mayor Salas was born and raised in Chula Vista. She is the first elected Latina mayor of the city.
She’s been a part of local and state government for about 30 years. She served on the Chula Vista Civil Service Commission as well as Chula Vista City Council. She was also elected to the California State Assembly.
