Addressing the Pandemic: Where Do We Go from Here?

Supervisor Gregg Hart grew up in Santa Barbara, attending local schools and later graduating from SBCC and UCSB. Public service has always been a part of Supervisor Hart's life, as his mother worked as an elementary school teacher and his father served as the Library Director for the City and County of Santa Barbara. Supervisor Hart's professional career began as a legislative assistant for State Assemblymember Jack O'Connell. From there, Supervisor Hart went on to serve as the original manager of the Santa Barbara County Association of Government's (SBCAG) Traffic Solutions program, promoting local green and sustainable transportation options. For more than twenty years, Supervisor Hart owned and operated Transitions Preschool, a local  family business.  Most recently, Supervisor Hart served as a Santa Barbara City Councilmember, and as the Deputy Executive Director for SBCAG, supporting regional efforts to widen the 101 freeway and improve bus and passenger rail service.  Supervisor Hart is proud to have served our community over many years – as a City Council Member, Planning Commissioner, California Coastal Commissioner, as a member of numerous boards and commissions, and now as the Second District County Supervisor.
