The Santa Cruz Port District Commission, the five-person governing body for the port district, has two open seats and three candidates, two of whom are incumbents and veteran commissioners. Reed Geisreiter, incumbent and current chair, served from 2009-2018 and then was elected again in 2019. He worries that the harbor has reached capacity. Toby Goddard, the other incumbent, has served for the past 16 years and cites concerns about planned Murray Street bridge construction. Dick Starr, the challenger, is the son of a commissioner and is a newcomer. Lookout asked them two questions and their responses are here. Starr did not respond to Lookout’s requests.
