California: Second Oceanside City Council member facing recall effort

A second Oceanside City Councilmember, Esther Sanchez, is facing petitions, over her opposition to legalized cannabis (and more generic complaints about her work with her peers). Sanchez (who has been on the council since 2000) faced an effort in 2007 that went nowhere. She has said she is a candidate for mayor position. Petitioners would need 3994 signatures by May 27.

Oceanside City Councilman Christopher Rodriguez (R) is already facing a recall over complaints that he allegedly lied about being a farmer. and his vote to approve a housing development. Petitioners would need 4456 signatures for Rodriguez.
