If you care about Goleta’s future, please join me in voting YES on Measure B on this year’s ballot.
I’ve lived in Goleta for more than 40 years with my husband, Peter, raising our children — and helping with our parents and grandchildren! — in this community we love. Committed to the well-being of the Goodland, I’ve served on many boards, including First 5, the Santa Barbara Area Safety Committee, the Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District, Home for Good, numerous PTAs, and for the past 12 years on the Goleta City Council, including the last four years as mayor. Along the way, I’ve learned so much about the key issues our city faces when it comes to public safety, roads and infrastructure, housing affordability and homelessness, the environment, and more.
To be clear, I am not speaking out as Mayor, nor on behalf of the City Council or the City of Goleta, even though four of our five councilmembers support Measure B. I am speaking as a committed, informed Goleta resident who wants to see Goleta receive sufficient revenue in order to serve our residents’ and businesses’ basic needs that are currently way underfunded.
