SAN DIEGO — Andrea Cardenas will still appear on the March primary ballot despite her resignation from the Chula Vista City Council.Mayor John McCann addressed the resignation at the beginning of the meeting, saying the council plans on hosting a special meeting next week to discuss what comes next.
Cardenas and her brother were indicted in November. The siblings are accused of misusing COVID relief money for personal use, facing charges that include grand theft and money laundering. Both have pled not guilty. With the primary just 14 days away, it’s too late to take Cardenas’ name off the ballot, and although her attorney says she is not actively campaigning, she will still be an option for voters come Mar. 5.
