She’s also been reminding people all along that councilmembers lack the legal authority to force De León off of the council. Only his constituents can vote him out, on the 2024 ballot or through a recall effort.
During a committee hearing on the motion that could curtail De León’s power to help his constituents in the meantime, monolingual Spanish speakers from his district called in to express their opposition. “I’m not a second-class citizen,” one woman said. “My representative should not be treated as less than other members.”
“I look at a district that is really not much different than my own,” Rodriguez, who represents much of the northeast San Fernando Valley, told me of De León’s majority-Latino district. “How can we put the burden on constituents to request translation? These are working-class communities that have other obligations.”
