Petitions have now been approved against Los Angeles City councilmember Kevin de Leon (the former President Pro Tempore of the State Senate) in the continuing fallout from racist comments from City Council President Nury Martinez regarding redistricting. Martinez. has already resigned due to the revelations, and still no word on a recall against the third council member who was in the room, Gil Cedillo.
Notably, Pamela Adkins, one of the petitions has filed three previous recall attempts against de Leon in July 2021 and May 2022 (over homeless issues). Earlier articles noted that Adkins would be pushing from the right, while the current criticism is from the left.
Petitioners would need 20,437 signatures to get to the ballot.
