Annalisa Perea

The Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly said that is enough to be detained and deported, but many local elected officials are pushing back.

Fresno City Council Member Annalisa Perea represents District 1, where Pacheco was detained.

It's heartbreaking.

It really is heartbreaking to see families in real time being ripped apart.

But let's get right into it.

Good evening and welcome to the second of GV Wire's one-on-one with candidates running to replace Annalisa Perea for Fresno City Council District 1, representing West Central Fresno, Fresno High, Tower District, and many of the neighborhoods west of the 99.

Tonight we have State Center Board President Rob Fuentes with us to talk about what he would do as council member.

Last week we spoke with his opponent Nandeep Singh.

We must also do so in a process that notices the public with sufficient time for them to reject any rate adjustments.

Annalisa Perea says there should be more time to publicly discuss the proposal before any vote is

taken.

We owe it to the public to ensure that we do everything possible to be transparent, to have an honest conversation, and the council members need to be ready to ask a lot of hard questions.

Brooke Payton has been fighting to get a library in the neighborhood for about three years now and says it feels like this thing's moving at light speed.

The news of the temporary location comes just a few months after Annalisa Perea motioned to set aside $50,000 from the city budget to work towards establishing a library in the tower, which is part of Perea's council district.

So while this may be on the smaller side...

They're hoping to see you pack this place.

Currently, he's got $39,000 in change left in the bank.

Most of his more recent financial support coming from labor groups, real estate companies, the current District 1 council member who is now running for state assembly, Annalisa Perea.

No big surprises on the list.

Like I said, Perea for Assembly, California Apartment Association PAC, Central Valley Council, Cook Land Company, Fresno Firefighters Legislative Action Committee, Fresno Teachers Association PAC, the Plumber and Pipefitters Local 246, Richard Spencer, Spencer Enterprises, he and his wife each contributed the maximum $5,900, and Brooke Aschian, now chairman of the Valley Watchdog Political Action Committee, throwing $1,000 on the pile as well.

Fresno City Employees Association PAC kicked in the max.

Ball Family Farms, another big donor there, with $1,000.

And again, Singh and Fuentes are running to succeed Annalisa Perea for a seat that represents a big chunk of northwest and west-central Fresno, including parts of the Tower, areas west of Highway 99, and the Fresno High area.

Over in District 3, It's the fight between Dr. Joaquin Arambula and Fresno Unified trustee and defensive litigant Keisha Thomas.
