not at all

I live and have been building my house in colonia las mesas where I now own two lots(with the Bank of Nova Scotia) and considering purchasing a third as a buffer and to grow fruit trees. Does the municipal gov't have council members that represent specific areas in the municipality? I was warned years ago to stay clear of local politics.

Someone should've also warned you to stay clear of the partes altas of the anfiteatro.

No, there are no wards and no one in the municipal government to represent the different colonias. Each colonia has a presidente elected by the resident citizens with a voters credential. In my experience this has only served as window dressing to enhance their own political careers and the colonias have seen little representation of their interests with the exception of the invasions, the colonias irregulares.
