The American Institute of Architects Santa Barbara Chapter and partners from Downtown Organization of Santa Barbara, Coastal Housing Coalition, and American Planning Association Central Coast Section have collaborated to organize two virtual forums on two separate evenings – one for Mayoral Candidates and one for Districts 4, 5, and 6 Candidates.

 

The purpose of the two Forums is to give the community the opportunity to ask questions and hear final words from candidates on important community issues such as Housing, Homelessness, Economic Vitality, Climate Crisis, and more before making final decisions and sending in ballots. Questions from the audience will be collected and posed to the candidates as determined by the moderator. given time available.
