Susan R. Epstein, '95: First to Enter Race to Replace Janet Wolf on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors
Susan Epstein Declares Candidacy for Second District Supervisor
Goleta Union School District board member Susan Epstein has filed papers to run for Second District Santa Barbara County Supervisor.
“I’ve worked in this community for 18 years and raised my family here,” Epstein said. “I’m deeply concerned about our county’s current challenges – fiscal stability, public safety and public health, and protecting our quality of life and our environment in the face of drought, wildfires, and other new problems.”
Epstein said people have asked her to run for the seat for years. Current supervisor Janet Wolf has decided not to run again after serving 12 years.
“I believe we need better listening and better cooperation across our region,” Epstein said. “I have a history of doing this – whether it was advocating for the first strategic plan in our school district, and seeing the strong results, or bringing senior-serving organizations and businesses together with senior citizens to form work groups to better serve their needs.”
Epstein earned a bachelor of science degree in computer science at Stanford University, and then graduated from the University of Chicago Law School. She has lived in the unincorporated area of the Goleta Valley for 18 years, raising her two children.
