De León has resisted calls for nearly a year to resign for his role in racist leaked audio scandal.
Councilmember Kevin de León
“In just three years, we’ve made unprecedented strides in our district on the issues that matter the most to my constituents, like improving public safety and tackling homelessness head-on,” de León said in a press release from his campaign announcing his bid for reelection. As of Wednesday, 10 other people had pulled campaign finance papers with the city’s Ethics Commission, indicating they may run in next year’s Council District 14 race. They include state Assemblymembers Wendy Carillo and Miguel Santiago, and tenant rights attorney Ysabel Jurado.
Appearing on CNN last December, de León denied making racist remarks, saying the most offensive comments on the audio came from Martinez, who called then-Councilmember Mike Bonin’s young Black son a “changuito” — Spanish for “little monkey.” De León said he apologized for failing to stop the offensive comments.
