CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Chula Vista Councilmember Andrea Cardenas, who was indicted on fraud charges, resigned from the council on Monday, the City confirmed.
In November, Andrea Cardenas and her brother Jesus were charged with a slew of crimes including grand theft, money laundering, and tax evasion. "I think this will give us an opportunity to focus solely on the problems of Chula Vista, instead of answering questions about an indicted council member," McCann said.
