The city is also hitting an important milestone this week, as three new members were elected to its city council. On Tuesday, Melissa Brown-Dominguez, Pablo Robles, and Dulce Jimenez will be inaugurated into their new positions.
The inauguration ceremony will be held at South Tucson City Hall from 5-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19th.

As the community continues strengthening its cultural legacies in South Tucson, connections grow to support the future of the city. A group of women, known as the Reinas, are building a Reinahood.
This group of community leaders are rooted in the Southside of Tucson, and are actively working to uplift communities like the City of South Tucson. Selina Barajas, the organizer of the group, recently started working as South Tucson's Community Outreach Strategist.
Her investment in the community was celebrated in a special way this past weekend, and KGUN 9 will be highlighting this story as part of our coverage on the road tonight on KGUN 9 at 5 p.m.
