Kristen Sneddon wins mayor’s race

Kristen Sneddon will become the new mayor of Santa Barbara.

Even though she was outspent on the election by Eric Friedman, Sneddon has overtaken him by 579 votes, with 98% of the ballots counted.

Sneddon has served two terms on the Santa Barbara City Council. She will formally take office in January.

The Santa Barbara High School graduate was behind on election night, but gained votes as more ballots were counted. Santa Barbara County released the new data this afternoon, as more mail-in ballots were counted.
