Cardenas and her brother Jesus were indicted last year in connection with alleged COVID-19 relief loan fraud.
Chula Vista City Councilwoman Andrea Cardenas, who is accused with her brother of fraudulently obtaining a loan for their political consulting business, resigned Monday, according to multiple media reports."In an effort to prioritize my mental health, and the health of my community, I have made the very difficult choice to formally resign effective immediately from my position as Councilmember for our City's 4th District," she wrote, according to the newspaper.
They are accused of making several misrepresentations in order to secure that loan, including that they were using the funds to support 34 Grassroots Resources employees, when in reality those employees worked for a marijuana dispensary that was a Grassroots client. In a statement issued in early November of 2023, Cardenas said she and her brother"became aware of many of the details of these allegations through local media outlets, who received a full copy of the complaint before we did.
