After 3 months of unemployment, Jim got a job! It's a great job, but it's short term. He's a field organizer for Das Williams's bid for County Supervisor. Das is a perfect candidate - he has great politics, know everything there is to know about the issues, is LOCAL (a must), ambitious, experienced, confident... His political drawback is that he's 31. Some people think he's too young for the seat. However, when they hear about his experience, they put that aside.
There are 4 candidates vying for the seat. The other 3 are Republican Dan Secord who is a former OBGYN and peer of Das's on the SB City Council, Janet Wolf, a Democrat on the Goleta School Board, and Joe Guzzardi is a neighborhood activist. It's already a contentious fight because Dan is very popular and delivered half of the babies in SB and there are 2 Democrats. It's a great opportunity for Jim to meet a lot of players on the scene.
We hope that Das will make it past the primary, both because we want him to win, and also so Jim has a job until November.
