Alexander Stoeber for City Council · District 6
Housing people can afford. Health people can feel. Hope people can build on.
Santa Barbara should remain a place where more people can live, heal, work, grow, serve, build, and belong.
Alexander Stoeber
Candidate for Santa Barbara City Council, District 6
Why I’m running
Santa Barbara gave me a future. I am running to protect that possibility for others.
I know what instability does to a life. I also know what becomes possible when housing, health, work, and belonging come together. Santa Barbara gave me a place to build. I am running because teachers, caregivers, public servants, small-business owners, young people, seniors, and working families should still be able to see their next step here.
Three commitments. One system.
Each commitment names a public problem, a practical City action, an accountable owner, and a way for voters to measure progress.
Pillar 01
Make room for local life.
Housing means room for the people who teach, care, protect, repair, create, serve, and keep Santa Barbara working.
First operating action: Build a Housing Delivery Priority List that names the sites, partners, obstacles, timelines, and person responsible for progress.

Pillar 02
Protect the conditions for local life.
Health means safe streets, usable public spaces, real crisis care, fair rules, and public safety people can trust.
First operating action: Launch a Healthy Streets Operating Plan with clear standards for safety, cleanliness, care response, ownership, and public reporting.

Pillar 03
Build the paths to local life.
Hope means people can see a next step: a job, a raise, a business, a permit, a recovery path, a home, or a reason to stay.
First operating action: Create a Small Business Opening Reform with one clear checklist, one accountable path, and published timelines.

State Street, housing pressure, public safety, small business, parking, homelessness response, permitting, public assets, and city finances all meet here.
District 6 needs steady local leadership that connects every decision to the way residents, workers, and businesses experience the city each day.
A safe, active, local, creative front porch with a real operating plan.
More homes where they fit, faster approvals, workforce options, and tenant stability that protects future supply.
Clear standards, visible service, crisis care, fair enforcement, and public trust.
Clear permitting, predictable timelines, useful public spaces, and fewer avoidable barriers.
A downtown people can reach, move through, and use without unnecessary confusion.
Promises connected to cost, staffing, maintenance, deadlines, and public value.
The governing standard
Voters deserve more than a list of values. Every major proposal should make the decision visible and give the public a way to track whether the work is moving.
ACTION · OWNER · COST · DEADLINE · RESULT
From values to votes
The point is not to announce another study. It is to identify the lawful action, assign the work, fund it, and publish the result.
Housing
Name the city’s most important housing opportunities and show the site, partner, obstacle, next decision, timeline, and owner of progress.
Read the Housing plan →Health
Coordinate safety, cleaning, crisis response, public-space standards, business needs, and visible reporting through one accountable system.
Read the Health plan →Hope
Give local businesses a clear checklist, transparent fees, named responsibility, and published timelines before they spend months navigating City Hall.
Read the Hope plan →
Get involved
It brings together the people who keep Santa Barbara working: renters, teachers, public-safety families, local workers, housing providers, small businesses, seniors, young professionals, civic moderates, independents, Republicans, and Democrats who want local government to function.
Not a partisan coalition. A working-city coalition.
If you want a Santa Barbara where more people can see a future here, I would be honored to earn your vote.
