Two members of San Fernando City Council vie for state Assembly seat in November

They both sit on the San Fernando City Council. And they both are running for the same seat in the state Assembly this November.

That may be where the similarities end. The two candidates share very different views.

In the race for Assembly District 43, Mayor Celeste Rodriguez, a Democrat, is pitted against fellow council member Victoria Garcia, a Republican. Their approaches to issues are quite different.

For example, Rodriguez, supports gun-control measures, while Garcia advocates tougher sentencing laws.
