Council Vice President Leventhal’s complete statement in English:
Last weekend, my wife and I saw the great movie The Liberator about the life of Simón Bolívar. Today I feel that the spirit of Bolívar is present in our chamber as we mark the significance of two leaders of Venezuelan origin in positions of influence in our county government—our colleague, Councilmember Nancy Navarro, and now our new colleague, Commissioner Natali Fani González. I want to congratulate Natali, who will represent all residents of Montgomery County well, but also I want to congratulate the Latino community on this significant milestone.
