GUEST COMMENTARY: Barbara Bry for Mayor…A Few of My Reasons By Richard Gonzalez Ybarra Barbara Bry is an accomplished woman and a lifetime pioneer, leading the way. She has lived the baby boomer life, learning and applying the lessons along the way. In April of 2018 I heard that Barbara Bry was going to run for Mayor of San Diego. I thought about it for a bit. Almost immediately, I knew she would be the best choice to lead my hometown. I saw her at a fundraising event that my daughter Barbara Chavez Ybarra had organized. I asked if the rumors were true. She affirmed. I said, “I’m going to support you because I believe you have what it takes to become the best Mayor in our city’s history.”
