Goleta City Council Member Roger Aceves announced today that Santa Barbara County Firefighters Local 2046 has endorsed his campaign for re-election. The organization, which represents working men and women firefighters in the city of Goleta, joins the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association in endorsing Aceves’ campaign before the candidate filing deadline in July.
“I’m proud to have been endorsed by the two major law enforcement organizations that represent working firefighters and police officers in the City of Goleta,” said Aceves.
