VOTE FOR ED HERON!

I have absolutely no problem promoting Ed Heron to be on the Santa Barbara School Board. I have worked with him on many different projects and work related items over the years and he is truly one of the great community leaders in Santa Barbara. He recently sent out an email to many of his friends and colleagues letting them know about his candidacy and below is part of that email. Get out and vote, and when you do remember Ed.

GO ED!
