Recall effort

Thanked the roughly 8,000 residents who signed recall petitions, criticized Mayor Johnson and Councilmember Yokoyama, and sharply criticized Mayor Pro Tem Pulido's meeting participation and assembly candidacy.

Argued the recall fell short but delivered results — tax proposals withdrawn, term limits kept off the ballot — and said the movement now turns to the water/sewer initiative for March 2027.

Rejected claims the recall is racist, saying it is about accountability, and accused a council member of defamation; later raised concerns about housing replacing the CCPA.

Argued the recall is performance-based, not racial, disputed the $1.4 million election cost figure, and criticized the 25% protest invalidation rate and HOA parcel counting.
