Santa Barbara Mayoral Candidate Debate
Thursday, September 3, 6pm-8pm
Tickets: FREE
Reservations Required
Santa Barbara’s future starts here. Join the Santa Barbara News-Press and Newsmakers with Jerry Roberts for a free evening with the three leading candidates seeking to become Santa Barbara’s next mayor:
Eric Friedman | Wendy Sims-Moten | Kristen Sneddon
News-Press Editor Joshua Molina and Newsmakers host Jerry Roberts will moderate a live discussion about the choices facing Santa Barbara — from housing and the future of State Street to the city budget, public safety and the ever-evolving character of our community.
Guests are welcome to arrive at 6 p.m. and enjoy a refreshing drink or cocktail from the cash bar followed by the debate at 6:30 p.m. The formal program will conclude by approximately 8 p.m. Come hear directly from the candidates, consider the choices ahead, and take part in a conversation about the next chapter in the story of Santa Barbara. Admission is free, but reservations are required.
Since 1868, the Santa Barbara News-Press has served Santa Barbara County, telling the story of a people and a place. Newly restructured as a nonprofit community newsroom, the 158-year-old News-Press is dedicated to helping you make sense of our home here on the Central Coast. Find us at newspress.com
