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 Marco Santana, director of engagement LA Family Housing, a nonprofit that provides housing and supportive services to unhoused people. A lifelong Valley resident, he has been vice president of the San Fernando Valley Young Democrats and Controller for the San Fernando Valley Democratic Party, and served as a local staffer for U.S. Rep. Tony Cárdenas and State Sen. Bob Hertzberg.
