In the Santa Barbara City Council election to represent District 6 , which encompasses the mid-downtown corridor and Laguna areas, incumbent Gregg Hart is facing off against political newcomers Jack Ucciferri, a Realtor and entrepreneur, and Aaron Solis, a San Marcos High School teacher and coach. It’s Hart’s race to lose, but Ucciferri and Solis are mustering an impressive amount of heel-nipping energy and support among their constituents.
Here, they answer the Santa Barbara Independent’s questions on important election issues. Some of their answers have been edited for length and clarity.
Hart, Ucciferri, and Solis will also speak on their city government views and ideas during the District 6 Discussion hosted by the Independent on Wednesday, October 11, from 6-7 p.m. at the Cielito Banquet Room at Viva! restaurant (1114 State St.). The event is free and open to the public. Reserve tickets at sbindytickets.com .
