Blanca Gomez Faces Recall from Outraged Victorville Citizens

Last week, We the People Rising attended the August 21, 2018 Victorville City Council meeting to support the city council majority looking to issue a statement of disapproval against city councilwoman Blanca Gomez.

For the last two years, she has brought nothing but trouble, outrage, and embarrassment to the city of Victorville, its residents, and the city council chambers. She gets into fights with members of the city council. She argues with staff constantly. During the week, she refuses to meet with city staffers or she monopolizes the time to her benefit at the expense of everyone else.

How did someone like this even get elected?

The voters in Victorville simply were not paying attention. Not wise. Local elections matter, and it is essential for voters to start researching candidates. Victorville residents made a huge mistake. Let's hope that everyone learns their lesson going forward.

I showed up about half an hour before the meeting. There weren't a lot of people protesting outside the city council chambers or the city hall:

One guy there told me how they were collecting signatures to get rid of Gomez.

Earlier the previous day, Gomez had attacked a lady who was protesting against the corrupt little councilwoman. It's astonishing how

Once inside, I wanted to make my mark:

Make Victorville Great Again!

There were more of our people, for the rule of law and against the corrupt racist Blanca Gomez, than there were supporters of the beleaguered councilwoman.

It was quite a victory, even though we had to sit through two hours of testimony, plus endless questions and answers going back and forth between Gomez, the city manager, and other staffers on the dais.

It was clear to anyone paying  attention that Gomez was desperate to stall and delay the inevitable motion of disapproval against Gomez:

(Everybody loves the Finger of Shame!)

Finally, public comment for the motion of disapproval against Gomez came up to the city council.

Councilman Kennedy reported some very disturbing news about Gomez. Beyond all the spectacles in the press, Kennedy related how Gomez behaves in a very unseemly fashion with her colleagues in city council. She is routinely late.

She has gotten into shouting matches with city councilmembers, and her hysterics have alarmed others so much, that the city council had to call in police officers to protect them.

She also violated the city's attorney-client privilege when she forwarded an email from the city attorney to their opposition. She has breached onto restricted property within the city. She has given unsolicited, unpermitted tours of city hall. These intrusions were so bad, the city had to post "No Trespassing" signs around city hall.

She has repeatedly taken on the offiical role of the city, even though she was not assigned that role. She would wear her "City Councilwoman" pin to other public functions, when she had no right to appear at those functions.

Instead of taking direction and correction, Gomez fights against her colleagues and staffers without relenting.

She even protested their comments and concerns to the public by putting the Mexican flag around her shoulders!

Check out how the city manager felt about Gomez' incessant whining and droning below!

The truth is that the city council has been way to lenient with this crazy little girl in an adult body. They let her get away with her rants, tirades, and outrageous displays of disrespect during city council sessions and throughout the city council chambers.

Councilman Cox complained about the divisiveness in the city because of all this turmoil, and he shared his interest in doing as little as possible about. One of the residents and I confronted Cox about that. Division occurs because one person doesn't respect the rules. Other people get angry because there is no enforcement of the rules. Favoritism and lawlessness create division, too, and I brought those points up.

Then members of the audience condemned her behavior, including elected officials from other areas of the High Desert.

When I spoke, I slammed her racism, her rampant disrespect, her lawless and uncalled-for presence Rialto City Hall on December 30, 2016. I said that she needed to be censured and recalled!

As expected, Blanca Gomez continued to play victim and called out the supposed "corruption" of the other city councilmembers. Yawn.

The city council voted to oppose her behavior and register their disapproval with Blanca Gomez. Even Councilman Cox, who had opposed doing something "divisive" signed onto the measure.

Public comment followed. Four members of We the People Rising urged the city council to revisit a formal measure of opposition to SB 54, including an amicus brief and/or a stay of compliance. At the end of my public comment, I publicly declared $20 to help with the recall effort of Blanca Gomez!

After the meeting was adjourned, I confronted Blanca Gomez all the way to the front door of city hall. For some reason, she didn't want to be recorded! It was so interesting to see her run away from me, with a folder covering her face because she didn't want to be recorded or confronted for her corrupt and unethical practices.

Final Reflection


Residents in the city are really excited this time. They tried to recall Blanca once before but they didn't collect enough signatures the first time.

This time, the outrage is palpable, and people are raising their forces and bringing in larger resources to get rid of her. I am glad I could be there to watch the circus, and finally to see the city council take some leadership and hold Gomez accountable for her disrespectful, bigoted behavior!
