Although races for the Santa Barbara City Council are nonpartisan, it bears noting that no Republican is running in District 5 — both candidates are Democrats. Of these two, I prefer Eric Friedman. Eric has both public sector and private sector work experience, which leads to fiscal responsibility and political moderation. He grew up in Santa Barbara, and his children attend public school here.

The choice in City Council District 5 is clear: Eric Friedman.
