Battle for 2nd
[ Excerpt from the SB Independent, 12/8/2005 ]
BATTLE FOR THE 2ND: The posturing has begun in the upcoming fight for the 2nd District supervisor’s seat, with Santa Barbara Democrats throwing their support to former Goleta School Boardmember Janet Wolfe to replace Supervisor Susan Rose — who won’t seek reelection — while crossing their fingers that Santa Barbara City Councilmember Das Williams will decide not to run. Though Wolfe has not formally announced her candidacy, she already has Congresswoman Lois Capps in her corner, along with 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal and his predecessor Naomi Schwartz. Williams, now in the second year of his first council term, has not made up his mind. He said he would withdraw if he was convinced Wolfe could defeat Dan Secord, the sole Republican on the Santa Barbara City Council currently serving out his final year. The 2nd District election takes place next June; if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two candidates will face off next November.

Das should run. Do not let the old guard who are out of touch chase you out of the race.
