As a longtime resident and active community member in the Goleta Valley and Santa Barbara County, I urge 3rd District voters to reelect Joan Hartmann as our county supervisor on March 5.
Joan has demonstrated leadership on many key issues, including addressing the homelessness crisis, promoting affordable housing for families while avoiding development of our last remaining open spaces, protecting farmlands and natural areas, and transitioning to a clean energy future.
Joan has led efforts to protect county residents’ clean water and clean air from unwanted pollution caused by excessive oil development in our neighborhoods and rural areas. She has repeatedly voted against new oil and gas production and huge oil tankers on our highways, which pollute the air and put us all at risk.
