Recall of Montebello councilmember reaches signature requirement for November ballot

Residents seeking the recall of Montebello Councilmember Angie Jimenez have met the signature requirement, paving the way for the resolution to be on November ballot.

During the upcoming Wednesday, July 24, meeting, Montebello City Council members will vote whether to approve the recall resolution to be placed on the ballot for the Nov. 5 election.

“This deceptive recall was instigated by and (is) being funded by land developers who misled my constituents to secure their signatures,” Jimenez said in a statement Friday evening.
