Generations of families have settled in this valley, helping to create a small and neighborly community. It is important to maintain this feeling of genuine camaraderie between new and longtime residents.
- I will strive to maintain mobile home rent control, so crucial for our seniors and younger families. I also will advocate for mixed-use housing opportunities and workforce housing for our local workforce.
- I will seek to expand availability of our recreational parks and facilities for all age groups.
- I will work to mitigate the impacts of the Hwy 101 project, including "WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS" signage, ramp closures at our convenience, and additional bike and walking improvements.
- I will protect open space and agricultural lands, prevent urban sprawl, and encourage environmentally sensitive building and zoning regulations.
We need to support our local businesses:
- Fiscal stability is essential for our community's continued success.
- I am committed to our Mom-and-Pop stores and small businesses that are the essence of Carpinteria.
- More and aggressive outreach is necessary to attract resource-neutral industrial businesses in appropriate and planned areas.
- I will promote Carpinteria as a car-free, carefree tourist destination.
