ON THE COVER: If you’re anything like us, you can’t get enough of this year’s exciting and historic election. In this issue, The Independent focuses on the 35th Assembly District faceoff, Santa Barbara’s Measure A and judge candidates, and the key race between Tony Strickland and Hannah-Beth Jackson for the 19th State Senate District seat. We’ve also included The Indy‘s endorsements of candidates and propositions. Cover photos by Paul Wellman.
