An effort in Montebello, California, to recall Mayor Vanessa Delgado was initiated in April 2018.[1] The city clerk approved the petition on August 8, 2018.[2]
After Delgado won a special election to California State Senate District 32, she resigned from her position as mayor of Montebello.[3] This made her ineligible to recall and ended the recall campaign against her.[2]
Recall supporters
Petitioners began the recall process in April 2018. Recall organizer Linda Nicklas pointed to three primary reasons for the recall: the condition of the city's streets, the city council's decision to allow local marijuana businesses, and alleged mismanagement of the city’s finances.[2]
