About
Why the Recall?
The Recall Mayor Brian DePeña - PAC was formed following concerns set out in the recall affidavit submitted by Lawrence voters. The affidavit cites pending federal and state criminal indictments, allegations involving the use of EIDL funds, alleged diversion of funds for campaign and personal benefit, and concerns about the effect these matters have had on public confidence in the Office of Mayor.
These matters remain allegations pending in court. Brian A. DePeña is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The recall process gives Lawrence voters a lawful way to decide whether they continue to have confidence in the mayor’s leadership.
