SUMMARY:LD 23 Rep. Mariana Sandoval at DGT
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Please join us for a lively discussion and Q&A with Rep. Mariana Sandoval\, representing Legislative District 23\, on Monday\, August 10\, at 12:00 p.m. Arizona time via Zoom. We’ll discuss the recent primary results\, the fight for a Democratic majority in the State Legislature\, current policy issues\, and your questions. Join us for a timely conversation with a Southern Arizona elected leader and the recent top vote-getter in her primary. \n\n\n\nYou Must Register in Advance for This Event:\n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/5CiqP88yQrql4qkhbqPjJw\n\n\n\nMariana began her public service career as a paralegal serving low‑income families at Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County. After moving to Arizona\, she continued her public service at the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. There\, she assisted in prosecuting air and water polluters and protecting wildlife. Seeing Arizona’s public schools consistently underfunded and families struggling without meaningful action\, she was motivated to run for her local school board so she could be part of the solution. \n\n\n\nShe served four years (2016-2020) on the Agua Fria Union High School District Governing Board\, focusing on expanding opportunities for underserved students and improving teacher pay. She currently serves as an Ex‑Officio Member of the Arizona Latino School Board Association and as a Board Member of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Her experiences at the local level strengthened her resolve to fight for stronger public schools statewide\, leading her to run for the Legislature. She was elected to serve in the Arizona State House of Representatives for Legislative District 23 in November of 2022 and has remained in that role since January 2023.” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: Incumbent Mariana was elected to LD 23 House in Nov. 2022\, re-elected Nov. 2024 and is up for re-election in Nov. 2026. Also running for House is political newcomer Emilia Cortez (D). They face off with incumbent Republicans Michele Pena and political newcomer Gary Garcia Snyder in the General Election.

SUMMARY:”American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez” film
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\nAmerican Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nShowtimes Coming Soon \n\n\n\nSTARTS FRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 4\n\n\n\nREGULAR ADMISSION PRICES\n\n\n\nPASSES NOT ACCEPTED 9/4 – 9/17\n\n\n\nFeaturing director David Alvadaro in person on opening weekend\, details TBA! \n\n\n\n“Against political resistance and industry skepticism\, Luis Valdez pushed Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with Zoot Suit and La Bamba\, crafting iconic works that challenge\, celebrate\, and expand America’s story. From migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist\, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s\, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His Zoot Suitwas the first Chicano play on Broadway. Despite critical rejection that killed the show\, he persevered\, creating La Bamba—a blockbuster breakout film that authentically depicted Mexican American life to the world. Now in its 60th year\, El Teatro continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations. Featuring Linda Ronstadt\, Lou Diamond Phillips\, Cheech Marin\, Delores Huerta\, and Edward James Olmos. (Dir. by David Alvadaro\, 2026\, USA\, 92 mins.\, Not Rated)” \n\n\n\n1 HR 32 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2026\n\n\n\n\nAmerican Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez
