Voting in Santa Barbara’s city elections has now begun, and our city faces a choice. There is no clearer decision on the ballot than Hal Conklin for mayor.
Hal has spent decades making Santa Barbara a better, cleaner, and safer city, and his experience sets him head and shoulders above the other worthy candidates in this race.
Santa Barbara is a wonderful place to live, but it faces real challenges that are going to require careful consensus and real leadership. Traffic, housing, safe neighborhoods, our environment — all of these pose urgent and complex questions that can’t be solved by sound-bites or catering to special interests.
