Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer has taken bold action to hold these corporate giants accountable, securing legal victories and policy reforms that put San Diego County residents first. 

Social media companies design their platforms to be addictive, fueling a youth mental health crisis and putting profit before the safety of children. That's why San Diego County, under Supervisor Lawson-Remer's leadership, has taken legal action against Big Tech companies, demanding accountability and real reforms to protect young people from harmful content. This lawsuit aims to force changes like banning predatory features such as autoplay and infinite scroll, improving age verification, and increasing transparency in platform algorithms.

Corporate landlords like Blackstone have bought up thousands of homes, driving up rents and displacing working families.

She stood up to large home insurance companies that abandoned homeowners, renters and business owners - encouraging them to instead work with California to modernize the insurance marketplace to ensure long-term affordability and availability of coverage, as well as transparency in the rate setting process to ensure homeowners get a fair deal and are protected from paying exorbitant rates. 

The opioid epidemic has devastated communities across San Diego, but thanks to legal action against the predatory companies responsible, the County secured a $200 million settlement-at no cost to taxpayers.
