Laura Capps Leads in Second District Race

Laura Capps cruises to victory in her bid for reelection as Santa Barbara County Supervisor for the Second District, holding over 75% of the vote against challenger Elijah Mack. With her focus on affordable housing, sustainability, and fiscal responsibility, Capps continues to shape policy in key areas like Goleta Valley and UC Santa Barbara. Mack, a political newcomer and former college teacher, campaigned on deregulation and tax cuts to boost middle-class housing — but early results show little chance of unseating the incumbent. Final certification won’t happen until July 2nd, but the race underscores the county’s ongoing struggle with development, affordability, and governance.
