The San Diego County supervisor said he suffered from post-traumatic stress resulting from military combat and childhood trauma.
“Outwardly, I have projected calm and composure. Internally, I have been waging a struggle that only those closest to me have seen; the detrimental impact on my relationships, mood, and inability to sleep,” Fletcher wrote. “I have to seek help.”
Fletcher became the target of sharp criticism and threats as one of the most visible local officials supporting lockdowns, vaccinations and mask mandates during the pandemic. As a county supervisor, Fletcher also championed mental health reforms. His county term runs through 2026.
