So, former reporter/editor/loser candidate Jean Adelsman cannot accept that she lost an election fair and square.
She campaigned against the Recall of LA County DA George Gascon. When she lost her bid for city council in 2022, she pledged not to initiate a recall against Aurelio Mattucci.
Yet here we are today, and Jean is trying to collect signature to put a recall measure on the ballot for District Five voters.
Why does she want to get rid of Aurelio?
Well, we all know it’s spite, pure and simple. She is making excuses about the LA Metro and statements from the city councilman to justify removing him from office.
What is really alarming is that there are 60+ people in the district who want him gone. (Or do they? More to follow. Some reports claim that some of the residents below really had no idea what they were signing. Other reports suggest that Jean lied to these voters, claiming that Aurelio wanted to defund the police)
So, who signed off on the initial intent to recall? Jean needed to get 60 signatures, or 60 electors (voters) in Torrance City Council District Five.
She obtained 68 signatures, presumably anyone who initiates a recall has to collect more than the minimum, just in case some of the signatures don’t match the names, the addresses, etc.
Here are the pages. For your convenience, I have re-typed the names beneath each page, and for the privacy of each voter, I have blocked out their home addresses.
