One of the things I pride myself on most is my strong record of working across party lines, bringing Democrats and Republicans together to solve problems and get results for our constituents. As a Santa Barbara County Supervisor, I’ve worked across the aisle to promote sound fiscal stewardship of our financial resources, to expand health insurance for our kids and invest in our highways and roads to create jobs and maintain our quality of life.
