ELECTIONS 2006
Basking in the glory of the Democratic tidal wave that swept the
nation this week, Congressperson Lois Capps celebrates her victory
Tuesday night at SOhO. Capps was joined in her jubilation by the
Democratic candidate for the 2nd District seat, Janet Wolf. As of
press time, Wolf appeared poised to take the election over
Republican opponent Dan Secord. However, with fewer than 1,000
votes separating them and several absentee ballots still uncounted,
both candidates shied away from specific declarations of defeat or
victory Tuesday night. Top vote-getters Michael Bennett and Eric
Onnen destroyed the incumbent slate in the Goleta City Council
race.
