After serving six years in the state Assembly representing much of Santa Barbara County, it is unfortunately time to say good-bye, at least in my current capacity. Term limits meant I could not seek re-election in the state Assembly.
I am fortunate, however, to continue as your public servant, in a different role. Beginning in early January I will be sworn in as your First District County Supervisor. I look forward to serving in this new opportunity, and I intend to bring the same passion and vigor to the County office that I carried while in Sacramento.
I invite you all to attend the swearing-in ceremony, January 10, on the fourth floor of the Santa Barbara County Administration building, 105 East Anapamu Street. This new public service role is as much about you as it is me. We have made this journey together.
