Noemi Valenzuela tells council she would prioritize community outreach and sensory-access parks
Summary
Applicant Noemi Valenzuela told the La Habra City Council she would prioritize outreach to residents and accessibility improvements such as sensory-friendly parks if appointed to the Community Services Commission; she described long-standing local ties and prior nonprofit referral work.
Noemi Valenzuela, one of the applicants interviewed for a Community Services Commission seat, said the commission should be outward-facing and responsive to resident needs. "I see the city opening parks for sensory for kids with disabilities," Valenzuela said, adding she wants the commission to attend events and bring resident feedback to the council.
Valenzuela described personal ties to La Habra—"I grew up here in the city of La Habra"—and cited experience working as a referral specialist at the Habra Family Research Center and service on a school site council. She said those roles gave her experience translating and helping neighbors with paperwork, and she framed her candidacy around advocacy for the Hispanic community and increased community engagement.
