Santa Barbara Santa Maria San Luis Obispo, CA, October 13, 2026 —

Four candidates are competing for the District 6 seat on the Santa Barbara City Council in the Nov. 3 election: Jason Carlton, Gabe Escobedo, Anabella Lehne and Alexander Stoeber.

The winner will replace Councilwoman Meagan Harmon, who is term-limited and therefore cannot continue in the seat. The summary identifying the race did not specify the election year.

No information was provided about the candidates’ positions, campaign priorities, party affiliations or prior experience. Details about the District 6 boundaries, voter eligibility and election procedures were also not included.

The available information establishes the candidate field and the reason the seat is opening, but does not describe how the contenders differ or what issues are central to the race. No endorsements, campaign events, polling figures or statements from the candidates were provided.

Accordingly, the contest can be identified as a four-candidate race for a City Council seat that will be vacated by a term-limited incumbent. Further details about the candidates and their platforms were not provided in the information available for this report.
