Natalie Rubalcava faces a June 4 recall election, just 18 months after winning her seat on the Anaheim City Council. Local activists have dreamed of turning the council into one much like Santa Ana’s, stacked with progressives who put working class and immigrant residents ahead of corporations.
Anaheim Councilmember Natalie Rubalcava wanted to show me two things as we walked toward a picnic table at Little People’s Park. “How do you like the playground?” she asked about her latest municipal project. The one-acre green space, site of an infamous 1978 police beatdown of Chicano residents, shone like I had never seen before. Kids played on swings, a seesaw and even a small climbing wall. Adults relaxed in the shade.
Rubalcava, a Democrat, agrees. Latinos in Anaheim “want public safety,” she said. “They don’t hate Disney. They hate Arte Moreno but love the team. Everyone I talk to barely talks about the recall.” She has the backing of unions, Rep. Lou Correa, nearly all of O.C.'s Democratic Assembly members and state senators, and the Orange County Labor Federation. Unite Here, meanwhile, has spent $845,000 on the recall since last year, yet finds itself mostly alone.
