A Letter From Paula
(From the Independent)
Thursday, November 11, 2010
Soon after Election Day comes Thanksgiving and as always I have
much to be grateful for. This year some public thanks are also
necessary.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Goleta City Council
electionto the organizations that sent questionnaires and held
forums to inform the public, to everyone who attended forums,
community meetings, coffees and who welcomed me as I went
door-to-door to hear what people want for Goleta, to the
organizations and individuals who endorsed me, to the media for
covering the candidates and issues, and especially to every person
who voted to decide who should serve Goleta.
I thank my campaign coordinator Gina Fischer, my treasurer Bob
Wignot and every individual who advised, supported and walked
for me. I am grateful to each person who contributed, with as
little as $10 and some much more, to help me get my views in
front of the voters.
Most of all I thank my familymy husband Peter and his parents,
Jean and Jim, who were indescribably patient and supportive and
my daughters Kirsten and Kaycie who I hope see my candidacy as
another example of all that is possible in this day and age for
both men and women.
Ultimately, I know that the best way to show my thanks is to
live up to my campaign commitment to keep Goleta the “Good Land”
in the face of the changes and challenges ahead. As Goleta’s
newest city councilmember, I intend to do just that.

Paula's Campaign Ad
Paula endorsed by The Independent!
This just in! Paula has been endorsed by the Santa Barbara
Independent. This is what they had to say:
"For the third seat, we endorse Paula Perotte, a strong progressive
candidate with the hometown support and legislative experience to
get the job done. Perotte’s years building up a community around
Brandon School teamed with her considerable roles within the PTA
where she now serves at a statewide levelhave provided the perfect
training to both bring greater civic involvement in Goleta City
Hall and wade through the intricacies of planning. It’s only an
added bonus that Perotte also boasts the endorsements of the regional
leaders we admire for keeping the South Coast a wonderful place to
live."

A Few Words From Paula
Dear Neighbor,
For 27 years my husband and I have lived, worked and raised
our two daughters in Goleta. We’ve enjoyed its special
character – small town feel, flourishing agricultural and
local businesses, wonderful ocean and mountain views and
great recreation opportunities such as Ellwood Mesa and
Girsh Park. I want to continue Goleta’s progress and
I’ll work hard to:
-
preserve our environment and ensure that development
respects our natural and agricultural resources
-
improve our community safety, focusing on safe pedestrian
and bicycle routes and more transportation options
-
be responsive to residents’ needs for basic and vital services,
really listening and meeting our challenges
I’d be honored to earn your vote and support. Working together,
I know we can ensure that today’s Goleta and the one we leave
for our children will be better than ever.
Sincerely,
Committed to keeping our community safe
and preserving the environment
