Despite a recall attempt and widespread calls for his resignation, including from President Joe Biden, Kevin de Leon is fighting again for his 14th District Los Angeles City Council seat.
Mr. De Leon became embattled in 2022 after the public learned he participated in a conversation among city leaders in October of that year, that included derogatory and racist comments, mostly by then Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez, who resigned shortly after audio of the meeting was leaked.
