National City leaders are not only standing by their Port of San Diego representative, Commissioner Sandy Naranjo, but are also questioning the motives behind board colleagues' decision last week to censure her for misconduct. Thursday, National City Interim City Manager Ben Martinez expressed in a press release the city's unwavering support for Naranjo alongside dissatisfaction with the board's action, which he said further erodes the city's trust in the agency.
Naranjo has said she is a whistleblower who was targeted by Russell because of her race, sexuality and advocacy for environmental justice causes. She publicly addressed the censure Tuesday at National City's City Council meeting. 'It was disheartening that my colleagues voted 6-0 to censure based on a secret report,' she said. 'I do believe the report actually exonerates me fully and supports my concerns.
