Newsletter: An effort to recall Councilmember Kevin de León has fizzled. The organizer was unable to collect enough signatures to place the matter before voters.
Good morning, and welcome to L.A. on the Record — our City Hall newsletter. It’s Julia Wick, with help from Dakota Smith.Less than six months ago, it seemed highly unlikely that the embattled politician would finish his term. There were deafening calls for his resignation and equally loud threats to recall him from office. Now, his greatest political threat appears to be his 2024 reelection.
To say nothing of the dwindling energy around such a goal, or the fact that most recall attempts fail. He has hosted raffles at senior centers, cut the ribbon at a new playground, secured millions in grant funding for his district and handed out thousands of boxes of food, at least some of which were helpfully stamped with his name and photo.
“My North Star has always been improving the quality of life for the people I represent. Through thick and thin, our community remains focused on the important battles at hand like homelessness, strengthening our local businesses, and protecting working families,” De León said Friday in a statement. “Today’s outcome is proof that for my constituents, actions speak louder than words.”
