California: Carlsbad Councilwoman resigns during recall effort, claiming will go to college outside of county

In a surprise move, Carlsbad Councilwoman Cori Schumacher (D) has resigned in the face of a recall campaign, claiming she is moving outside of San Diego County to go to college. 

The recall effort was led by Reform California founder Carl DeMaio (who has led numerous conservative recall efforts) over a whole kitchen sink of complaints, including behavior, political donations, a labor agreement and her position in favor of enforcement policies to fight the coronavirus pandemic. Schumacher has criticized Carlsbad Mayor Matt Hall (R) who she accuses of promoting personal attacks.

Petitioners needed about 3562 signatures by September 8 to get on the ballot.
