The Timbers Restaurant in western Goleta hosted the election night celebration party for many local candidates. There was much for them to celebrate.
Not only did all of them sweep to victory. But Goleta City Council Member James Kyriaco was also successful in his campaign for Goleta’s Measure B sales tax to fund investment in local infrastructure that is desperately needed.
Here are a few of my photos of some of the winning celebrants.
Congress member Salud Carbajal spoke to the packed and energetic crowd and thanked his powerhouse team of young volunteers. Each of the winning candidates talked of the energy and dedication of the volunteers; worth more than any amount of money can buy.
County Supervisor Gregg Hart will soon be in the State Assembly and he is taking young and energetic community leader Ethan Bertrand as his assistant. Ethan Bertrand is currently on the Goleta Union School District board. And he serves on the board of the Isla Vista Community Services District, an entity he helped create. Here Gregg Hart spoke to the crowd.
Here Goleta City Council Member James Kyriaco celebrated his reelection win along with his Measure B success.
And Luz Reyes-Martín celebrated her win to the Goleta City Council. She will be replacing Roger Aceves, who campaigned as an environmental advocate, but often sided with oil and developer interests.
It was a very happy crowd at The Timbers Tuesday night.
Red wave? More like the red whimper. Bunch of pushovers for Don the Con when they could be crushing with moderates. What an embarrassment.
The moderates? seriously? Oh, wait you mean Don Carbajal. Come on it’s CA I get pissed every time I vote. Based on your posts you’re as far left as can be. At least, thank God, our Democracy if safe now…LOL Sheep.
If you no longer appreciate CA, feel free to move to another state. You could go hang out with Kari Lake in AZ. Lots of red sheep there.
The Republican party has some work to do. Playing to the far right, nonsensical, racist, homophobic, Trump-loving base is going to cost them, time and again. I’d be willing to vote Republican on some issues if they ran moderate, sensible candidates. These Trump puppets will hopefully never be the voice of the majority and that’s a good thing.
TDS still in full swing….. you keep saying the right is racist and homophobic with nothing to back that up accept the words of their opponents. Nothing they actually say, do or propose is either racists or homophobic. Are you aware Trump had the first openly gay cabinet member? Oh but he’s homophobic. Are you aware of Biden’s many many racists remarks throughout his carrer? Oh but it’s okay cuz he’s a democrat.
Rape, drugs, crime. Trump said this is what Mexicans bring to the US. In June 2015 he said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.”
He went on: “They’re sending people that have a lot of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
The Right is the source of the “Great Replacement Theory”. Pure racism. And pure conspiratorial insanity. This is not normal. And it is scary that anyone would deny this.
“Nothing they actually say, do or propose is either racists or homophobic.” – GTHO with that bs. That’s an absolute and despicable lie and you know it.
OGSB – I didn’t say all republicans.
“the right simply doesn’t care and prefers to judge people based on their character and you know” – tell that to MTG, Boebert, Lozano, Abate, etc…..
OG, there’s a big difference these days between conservatives and Republicans. The latter generally align with tRump. They scare me a lot and I work against them politically.
7:16, why don’t you care of politicians break laws?
I would call myself a conservative Republican yet I have never voted for Trump nor would I in 2024. Most Republicans I know are not Sheeple just following the leader off the edge of the cliff…. There are people in both parties that seem to act on feelings instead of acting on facts.
@ 3:33 I 100% do. Unlike many of the regular EdScolds, I think that should be applied to all politicians, all people actually, regardless of their political party, or race or whatever. To often actual crimes are dismissed, ignored by the media or DOJ, excused away, or censored by Big Tech based not on what occurred but the political affiliation of who did it. Why would you think I don’t care?
Gino…Seriously?
