... [Grant] House said he’s excited about having another term. Despite the legitimacy of many of the candidates, House said he is confident that he will prevail.

He touts his support for the neighborhood preservation ordinance, water conservation efforts and restoration of Arroyo Burro Creek. He is also proud of the fact that the city opened the downtown teen center for young people.

“I believe that the best means to cope with the rise in youth violence is not only to provide the tools to our law enforcement need but also to foster grass roots activism from within the neighborhoods so that residents are empowered to take back their neighborhoods."

Friend and Santa Barbara City Councilman Das Williams said House is 100 percent genuinely committed to public service and that he deserves to elected to a second term.

“Grant has been committed to a more walkable, livable city, workforce housing and sound, thoughtful planning,” Williams said. “He has the most sense of anyone on the council regarding the nuts and bolts of how the planning process works.”
