Overview
Martin U. Fuentes is a member of the Cudahy City Council, elected in 2022.1 He previously worked as a field deputy for Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard on school overcrowding, construction and park space, and for State Senator Gloria Romero on legislation protecting workers' wages.2 He was also political director for SEIU Local 1877, supporting the Justice for Janitors campaigns.2
