As a candidate for the Montecito Fire Department Board of Directors, I am the only one who has been endorsed by the Montecito Journal and the four retired Fire Chiefs. I would have added to your article that I did not solicit either endorsement in any way.
I have not accepted any campaign contributions. I intend to stay as independent from the heat of local politics as much as possible as I don't see that the interests of cityhood, political ambition, and the need for public spotlight serve the fire protection and emergency service needs of the Montecito community.
