"It's clear that Kevin Faulconer has the proven experience to lead City Hall and understands how to create more good-paying jobs in the life sciences so more San Diegans can succeed," said Joe Panetta, president and CEO of Biocom.
"At a time that other regions make regular trips to San Diego to try to recruit local companies to relocate, Biocom believes it is critical that the city of San Diego has a mayor who understands the importance of the life sciences and is committed to support its continued growth," Panetta said.
