Yvonne Arceneaux (born March 1, 1947) is an American politician. She was the longest-serving member of the city council of Compton, California. She also served on the board of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
Personal information
On a half-acre lot, she and her husband resided in Richland Farms since 1993. There they raise animals such as ducks, donkeys, and chickens.[1]
Politics
Arceneaux was elected to the Compton City Council in 1993. Representing the Third District, she was elected six times.[2] In the middle of her fifth term, she surpassed Jane D. Robbins as the City Council's longest-serving member. One of her chief accomplishments on the council was her support of a ban on alcohol and tobacco billboards in Compton, the first city to do so in the state of California.[3] Since Arceneaux had dealt with livestock, she is a strong advocate of livestock and the continued struggle to protect it. She has certainly been a witness to several issues that deal with livestock. Issues such as:
- Overcrowding of livestock
- Illegal subdivision of property
- Abusive behavior afforded by the current zoning [1]
On Tuesday, April 21, 2009, Arceneaux was seated on the board of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.[4]
In December 2015, Arceneaux retired after serving a record 22 years on the Compton City Council.[2]
