Rice Lake WI native Dr. David Bearman’s candidacy for Santa Barbara CA county supervisor ended with a loss with a record low turnout in the June 3 primary. Readers may recall Dr. Bearman spent several days back in Wisconsin last November spreading the word about medical cannabis, holding a book signing, lecturing at the UW Medical School click here, and testifying before the State Senate’s Health Committee click here.
Dr. Bearman, well known in Santa Barbara County and expecting a larger voter turnout, received almost 10 percent of the vote, taking third place in a race with four candidates. Bearman ran stronger in Isla Vista and on the UC-Santa Barbara campus, taking second place with about 22.5 percent of the vote in those areas, according to local news sources.
