Seldom do I find a government representative who knows how to balance his obligations and affairs. Success comes as the result of interest, learning, education in the field of practice, hard work, dedication, experience, common sense, facts, passion, and care. “Politics” has no place when it comes to one running a city. When we seek health care professionals and legal representation we believe they are licensed and qualified to do their job. Even a plumber has to have a license. Thus when running for local elected office, one should have a proper set of qualifications.
I find Goleta City Councilmember James Kyriaco is that city representative. James's interest in the environment and how to lead a county or city goes back many years. His mentors started with Bill Wallace, the 3rd District supervisor, several decades ago. I know that because I was helping the supervisor's campaign at the same time.
James's dedication to taking care of the community is sincere and serious. He is a hard worker, he has already been in the trenches and has paid his dues.
