Antonio López is a Councilman of the City of East Palo Alto, a Chicano poet, an author of Gentefication (Four Way Books, Sept. '21)

I ran for City Council of East Palo Alto because I wanted to inspire the next generation of young leaders. I ran because I am a tired of being a minority of a minority, because I have seen that being a Marshall Scholar, a Duke graduate, an Oxford graduate, and current doctoral candidate at Stanford is a rarity in our community. My successful election is a demonstration of the hunger for change in this country, in this state, and yes, in this party.
