Bungalow Heaven for Dem candidates this year and next.
|
The spacious campaign HQ, a charming bungalow in a residential neighborhood, is conveniently located downtown near the corner of Castillo and Carrillo streets, with ample street parking for volunteers as well as free parking in the adjacent commuter lot after 6 p.m.and on Sundays, which makes it particularly useful for evening phone banks and weekend walks. Once past the 2017 SB city elections, it will be retained at least through 2018 for the congressional race and other coordinated campaign needs.

SB Young Dems Walk & Hope Ranch Pool Party
Santa Barbara Young Dems are worried that the city is in danger of having a Trump-supporting mayor due to a split Democratic field. Working against that possibility, they will come together to talk to at least 1,000 people on October 8, a month before mail-in ballots are delivered.
The immediate reward for the noontime Cathy Murillo canvassing operation starting from Dem HQ at 1025 Castillo will be a 3 o’clock pool party at the Hope Ranch home of county Democratic party chair Gail Teton-Landis. Check out the details and sign-up here.

City of Santa Barbara Elections
The Time Has Come
Ballots for the city election go out to voters the week of October 9, and need to be returned by mail by Tuesday, November 7. Ballots may be brought in to the City Clerk’s office prior to Election Day, and there will be four other drop off locations open on Nov. 7, but there are no traditional polling places. For full details about voter registration deadlines and ballot collection click here. 
The endorsed candidates, Cathy Murillo for Mayor, Jim Scafide (District 4), Eric Friedman (District 5) and Gregg Hart (District 6) for City Council, are busy walking neighborhoods and phoning voters from the recently opened party headquarters at 1025 Castillo St. It’s a job requiring lots of volunteer effort. Here’s how to help:
