Elementary school principal Renee Golder, 48, and UC Santa Cruz senior Gabriella Noack, 24, are competing to win the Santa Cruz City Council District 6 seat, which covers part of Santa Cruz’s Westside and UC Santa Cruz.
Incumbent Golder has been on the council for six years and assures voters that they “know what they’re gonna get” if she’s elected. She says she’s not a politician and unsuccessfully searched for the past two years for a replacement candidate to run this year. Despite her desire to not seek reelection, Golder feels called to do the job.
