Katie Mullin has served on the Santa Barbara Group executive committee since 2012. In that time I have been honored to work on behalf of our county’s environmental issues. As a veterinarian I am committed to the health of all species including the land they live on. I am an avid proponent of bicycle safety on our roads. I am an advocate for generating our energy needs from clean sources. Moving forward I believe our county can be a template for a Clean California.
