Assemblyman Dr. Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno) revealed this week that he recently wrapped up a month-long stay in a rehabilitation facility for alcohol.

The news comes after it was reported that the politician and his wife Elizabeth are locked in a contentious divorce.  The couple have three daughters.

Arambula, who is termed out of the Assembly, is a declared candidate for Fresno City Council – District 3 – which represents southwest and downtown portions of the city.
