Politics

Arceneaux was elected to the Compton City Council in 1993. Representing the Third District, she's serving her fifth term. If she completes her term, she will surpass 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.^[2] 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.^[3]
