Group files papers to recall LA City Councilman Kevin de Leon over racist backroom meeting.
A notice of intent to recall embattled Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León was filed Thursday, Oct. 27, the City Clerk’s Office confirmed.
“After three failed attempts, yet another recall that distorts his record will not distract the councilmember or his office from continuing to serve the people of Council District 14,” Brown said in a statement to City News Service. “He will keep moving forward important projects and issues that threaten the communities and the lives of his constituents.”
De León, along with Councilman Gil Cedillo, has defied fierce and widespread calls to resign for taking part in a leaked 2021 conversation that involved racist comments and attempts to manipulate redistricting. “Even though the City Council has called for his resignation, and have stripped him of his committee assignments, Kevin de León has refused to resign,” the statement reads. “He currently cannot represent the stakeholders of Council District 14.”
