<p><b>Bocanegra is already gunning for a rematch. He formed a committee for a 2016 campaign last December, just weeks after his loss.</b></p><p>"I've had a lot of encouragement from people to run again for 2016," Bocanegra said. "I've still got that fire in the belly."</p><p>But
some of Lopez's critics don't want to wait until the next election to
oust her. Activists in the district launched a "Stop Patty Lopez"
website and have floated the possibility of a recall effort.</p><p>The
materials mainly take issue with Lopez's political affiliations; she has
several close associates who are Republican activists, prompting
questions of how loyal a Democrat she is. They have also made pointed
reference to Lopez's heavily accented English, a charged dig in a
district that has many Latino immigrants, such as Lopez herself.</p><p>Bocanegra has disavowed such tactics, including the recall threat.</p><p>"I've
made it clear that I don't support those efforts," Bocanegra said. "If
they're doing it for me, on my behalf, I'd like for them to stop."</p><p>One
of Lopez's most vocal opponents has been Rosemary Jenkins, a Democratic
activist from Granada Hills. Jenkins is a Bocanegra ally, but she said
the resignation campaign "has nothing to do with Raul." Rather, she
said, it's about doing the necessary vetting of a political official.</p><p>"Nobody
knew anything about her," said Jenkins. "If they had known her
leanings, her associations, they never would've voted for her."</p><p>Jenkins
and two other constituents have filed voluminous complaints with the
state's political ethics watchdog, alleging that the assemblywoman
committed further campaign finance violations and failed to properly
disclose her income and assets.</p><p>Copies of the complaints, along
with signed petitions calling for her resignation, were sent to the
Capitol offices of Democratic Assembly members last week.</p><p>Meanwhile, Lopez is receiving mixed reviews from constituents.</p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">==
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Assemblymember Patty López (D-San Fernando) was elected to the State
Assembly in November 2014 to represent California's 39th Assembly
District, which includes the communities of Pacoima, San Fernando,
Arleta, Mission Hills, Sylmar, North Hollywood, Lake View Terrace, Los
Angeles, Northeast Granada Hills, Sunland-Tujunga, and Sun Valley.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Before being elected to the State Assembly López was a former
community representative for the North Valley Occupational Center. She
was also a community activist for various community projects such as
serving on site councils at San Fernando public schools. Moreover, López
helped form a parents' grassroots group—Padres Activos SFV—to provide
immigrant parents with greater information about their civil rights.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">A mother to four girls, a grandmother and married to Juan López,
Assemblymember López is committed to making a difference in the
community, especially through advocating for a quality public education
for all children.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
