In my many years serving as Goleta’s mayor and city councilmember, I’ve never met a more responsive county supervisor than Joan Hartmann.
Since 2021, when county supervisorial district lines were redrawn to include 80 percent of Goleta in the 3rd District, Supervisor Hartmann immediately dove in to learn our needs and work to address them. That’s why I’m so eager to see her reelected 3rdDistrict seat.
Supervisor Hartmann has been an environmental leader, protecting Goleta from the dangers of oil processing and transportation. She supported shutting down Venoco’s oil processing plant in Ellwood. And when the oil pipeline leak fouled our precious coast, she voted to prevent trains and trucks from transporting dangerous oil through our community. When Goleta decided to ensure uninterrupted power by installing the largest battery storage facility in the county, Supervisor Hartmann was in our corner.
