Alarcon funded a successful court challenge in January that forced Rodriguez to change her job description to "housing advocate" and has been sending mailers chastising her over the label.While Alarcon and Rodriguez have been fighting it out, Mendoza has run a quieter, pro-business campaign.He also is no stranger to local politics: He won a 2002 election that would have put him on the City Council in a new San Fernando Valley city had a secession campaign that year succeeded.A longtime resident of Sylmar, Mendoza is campaigning on his ability to run a small business and on protecting the quality of life in the district."We want to put a limit on housing development in the northeast Valley," Mendoza said "It's destroying our community and horse properties.
