Why am I running?  

Experience and Accomplishments Count

I am running for Goleta City Council to represent the new district 4. Now more than ever we need experience to get things done for our neighborhood.

My priorities include reducing airport noise over residential Ellwood, preserving community character and maximizing the affordable, workforce housing as we implement the state-mandated housing, increasing the availability and affordability of childcare, reducing homelessness, restoring the Ellwood Mesa, moving Firehouse 10 to completion, and increasing funding for city’s roads and sidewalks.

I am committed to public service as an Eagle Scout and former Peace Corps volunteer.  I also have the experience to accomplish the goals that we believe in. It isn’t enough to say that you want to improve the life of the city. How will you do it What will you do? I’ve learned a tremendous amount by listening to residents in both formal and informal settings. It is important to have both the experience and skills and temperament to accomplish our vision for Goleta.

We’ve made a lot of progress on our goals. I would like your vote to keep our work going.

Sincerely,

Stuart Kasdin
