Letter: Candidate calls my community ‘armpit’ of the county
To the editor,
I found out today, that one of our district’s candidates, running to represent us in Congress, has referred to my home community, Lompoc, as the “armpit” of our county.
Perhaps Salud, if you had done a better job as Supervisor, representing all Santa Barbara county, Lompoc wouldn’t be, in your view, the “armpit” of our county. If you had not been at the beck and call of south county money, I suspect you wouldn”t be so patronizing in your comments.
I’m tired of seeing how our community of Lompoc, is ignored. We are given scant positive attention by the money of the south county, who do not understand our community or care about the struggles we’re facing.
In fact, Salud, you just make things worse. You pretend to want to help us, but then turn your back on every promise you made. You consistently make things worse for us and your actions are generally against the best interest of Lompoc.
This November, I’ll not be voting for someone as disrespectful and elitist as Salud Carbajal. Instead, I will be voting for Justin Fareed, someone who actually cares about the Central Coast and my voice.
