Recall opponents
Cabrera has said, "I'm still here to do the same thing I was doing since day one, which is working for San Luis for the citizens to make sure that everyone has a voice in the City Council, not just a few. We're gonna continue working as best as we can and continue doing what's best for the citizens of San Luis."[1]
