PALMDALE – The Palmdale City Council appointed Roxana Martinez at its January 14 meeting to fill the seat vacated by newly elected State Assemblyman Tom Lackey.
Martinez had been serving as the Vice-Chair of the Palmdale Planning Commission, and has served on the Commission since 2012.
A long-time resident of the Antelope Valley, she earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and philosophy and is currently working towards a master’s degree in philosophy.
Martinez currently owns and manages Lucky Roxy’s Café in Palmdale.
Her first job was working for the City as a program leader in the Recreation and Culture Department.

Technically, Jay was, indeed, appointed to the council. However, this was because he had actually won the seat fair and square in the last election and Parris had interfered with Palmdale’s ability to seat him from that election.
Gowchong says
Actually Jay, Thompson was not appointed. He won the election.
Jay says
Damn she is hot!
BUt back to politics, I love how the city council is now appointing minorities to fight back the lawsuit. First thompson and now her.
AV Truth says
Lancaster council woman Sandra Johnson was appointed to her seat by Parris. Thompson won his election and Parris is trying to stop it from being official. Parris should mind his own business and take care of his city that has enough problems that require attention. If he’s not up to the task, he should resign. Or if he would rather run Palmdale he should move there and run for mayor. That would be hysterical.
