Recall Petition Against Kevin de Len Approved by LA City Clerk
A recall petition against embattled City Councilman Kevin de León was approved by the Los Angeles City Clerk Tuesday, allowing organizers to begin collecting signatures.
Organizers must collect 20,437 signatures from registered voters of the 14th District by March 31, according to the city clerk's office.
An intent to recall de León was filed in October by five residents of the 14th District, including Pauline Adkins, who led two prior unsuccessful recall attempts of de León.
De León, along with Councilman Gil Cedillo, has defied fierce and widespread calls to resign for taking part in a recorded 2021 conversation that involved racist comments and attempts to manipulate the redistricting process.
Under the statement of reasons in the notice of intent, the organizers cited de León's refusal to resign over the scandal.
De León released a statement in response to the proposed recall petition.
