'It's a journey that may take years, but it's a process nonetheless,' said the councilman, who refused to resign following the leaked audio scandal that rocked city hall. 'I think I've become a better person because of it.'
"It's a journey that may take years, but it's a process nonetheless," said the councilman, who refused to resign following the leaked audio scandal that rocked city hall. "I think I've become a better person because of it.
Even if the councilman has healed, many of his constituents have not and are calling for new leadership. In a statement, Santiago said "Enough is enough. People are hurting. Kevin de León's participation in the racist tapes scandal was so extreme that everybody from local constituents to President Biden called for him to resign. Councilmember de León should not be announcing his re-election today; he should be announcing his resignation."
Some city hall pundits believe there is a good chance de León is re-elected as some constituents have stuck by him during the scandal. Time is on his side, and the more crowded the field, support for other candidates could be split.
