Following Tuesday’s Whittier initial election results, Mayor Joe Vinatieri appeared firmly on his way to holding on to his mayoral seat, and Councilmember Cathy Warner also will remain in the District 3 seat. Change appeared to be coming to District 1, with Mary Ann Pacheco ahead of incumbent Jessica Martinez.
As Whittier's election approaches, the Whittier Daily News asked candidates running for city council about their platforms and what they would do if voted into office. This is Mary Ann Pacheco, who is running to represent the city's District 1.
