Assemblywoman Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita, has selected the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry as her district’s nonprofit organization of the year.
During Hispanic Heritage Month this year, Assemblywoman Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita, will recognize constituents of Hispanic descent who have contributed to their community in the 38th Assembly District.
The monthlong celebration of Hispanic heritage starts Sept. 15 and runs through Oct. 15. The United States has been celebrating this time as Hispanic Heritage Month since 1968.
“We are accepting nominations for any outstanding Latino that has been contributing to our community,” said Patsy Ayala, a representative with Valladares’ office. “I want to open this nomination to the community because probably there’s an outstanding student that we don’t know is there.”
Ayala said the Assemblywoman will honor a total of 30 people, or one each day during the month, with a special recognition in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Santa Clarita Representatives, Dorsey Family Gather Community To Rally For Recall Of Gascón
Thursday evening, over 100 residents and lawmakers from the Santa Clarita Valley and other parts of California rallied to promote the recall of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón at Central Park.
D.A. Gascón has come under much scrutiny for his “lax” policies, which many critics, including those in Santa Clarita, claim are more beneficial for criminals than for the victims of crime.
“We are here to let you know we are not giving up the fight. We are not giving up the fight… Every time we get the opportunity to get the word out, we are going to get the word out… We need action, we need your signatures,” said Santa Clarita Mayor Bill Miranda.
