Santa Barbara County Action Network

INFORMATION & ACTION ALERT

Greetings! Please take a few moments to review SB CAN endorsements for County Supervisor and how you can help.

1. SB CAN Endorsements for County Supervisors

2. Volunteer opportunities in the 3^rd District---Doreen Farr

3. Volunteer opportunities in the 4^th District—John Sterling

1. SB CAN is proud to endorse

Doreen Farr for 3^rd District Supervisor, and

John Sterling for 4^th District Supervisor

Dear Members & Friends,

SB CAN has been closely examining the candidates to determine where they stand on issues important to the entire County, including affordable and workforce housing, preserving agriculture and open space, and developing alternative transportation.

The candidates whose views and values most closely match our priorities are 3^rd District candidate Doreen Farr, and 4^th District candidate John Sterling. These candidates demonstrate commitment to SB CAN’s core principles of social justice, environmental protection, sustainable transportation, and conservation and expansion of affordable housing in Santa Barbara County.

As a former planning commissioner, business person, and community leader, Ms. Farr has had significant experience and success working with others to tackle complex issues that County leaders face on a daily basis. She is informed, focused and detailed in the way that she will address land use policies, county services, and constituent needs.

Mr. Sterling, a former city manager and police chief, is well known for his ability to bring together people from diverse backgrounds and with differing viewpoints to solve tough problems. He believes that “an informed and involved public is key to a successful government,” and promises full-time commitment to ensuring a voice and equal representation to all.

We hope you will join us in supporting these two candidates and helping to elect them as our new County Supervisors on June 3. Even if you don’t live in the 3^rd or 4^th District, it’s important to help elect candidates whose views and values match your own, as each supervisor, regardless of which District he or she represents, will help shape policy and quality of life decisions throughout the county. Your generous campaign contributions, and help with precinct walking and phone banking, are much needed.
