Pedro Nava was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and moved soon thereafter with his parents to the San Bernardino area, where his family ran a small market.
Nava readily admits that prior to his involvement on the Coastal Commission - responsible for reviewing all development projects and plans on the coastline - he had no overt environmentalist leanings, which, he says, is precisely why Cruz Bustamante appointed him: to represent the public.
So while Nava is running on the basis of a long political résumé and consistent voting record, Pohl is truly running on the personality platform, arguing that by simple virtue of his character, he's fit for the job.

While Nava steered clear of some of the harsh descriptions employed by the state’s education establishment, he made it clear he thought Schwarzenegger was proposing to renege on his deal to restore K-12 this year in exchange for permission to cut it by $2 billion last year.
Nava acknowledged that Schwarzenegger was increasing K-12 funding by $2 billion in his proposed budget, but stressed that that was $2 billion less than promised.
Nava said that he and other Democrats were willing to talk about redistricting, but added, “Nobody wants to see another Texas,” referring to recent ham-fisted redistricting efforts there that cost Democrats five congressional seats.

While the group's attention was focused on the appeals court ruling that could put it out of business, at least one coastal commissioner is concerned about another legal claim raised by the Marine Forests Society after it was ordered in 1999 to remove an experimental reef off the Newport Beach pier.
Commissioner Pedro Nava alerted his colleagues to an allegation included in the original lawsuit that the coastal commission has been improperly collecting $1 million a year from the Edison power company for reef habitat restoration.
Nava warned the commission that the Marine Forests Society is eying those $1-million-a-year payments for itself.

That’s why one coastal commissioner, Pedro Nava of Santa Barbara, this week was hailing the ruling as a victory for environmentalists.
Nava repeated what commission Executive Director Peter Douglas has been telling reporters all week: the simple remedy is to just have commissioners serve fixed terms.
The governor and the Legislature might meddle too much and do damage to the Coastal Act, which is for the most part healthy—it just needs minor tinkering to pass muster with the court.

Among the Spanish painters whose style may be regarded as transitional between Gothic and Renaissance, the foremost is undoubtedly Pedro Berruguete, a native of Parades de Nava in the province of Palencia.
The persistence of the Gothic tradition is revealed in the free use of gold and the abundance of brocades.
Among Berruguete's numerous works hardly less important than the previously cited are the Annunciation in the Carthusian monastery of Miraflores and the Holy Family signed and dated 1500, now in a private collection in Paredes de Nava.

But Nava said Sunday's proposal failed to recognize that hydrogen technology is years, if not decades, away from widespread use.
