When Nury Martinez resigned from the City Council in October, it left 270,000 residents of the east San Fernando Valley without representation.  The special election to fill the seat is April 4, and Mike is talking one-on-one with each of the candidates. In this episode, he talks with Imelda Padilla -- a lifelong valley resident who has worked for Pacoima Beautiful, LAANE, the LA City Council . She is president of the LA Valley College Foundation board. In 2016, Padilla unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the L.AUSD Board.
