The City of San Benito is committed to keeping our community well-informed through regular updates.
Recently, Jesus “Chuy” Aguilera Jr. attempted to initiate a recall of the mayor and commissioners. For a recall to proceed, petitions must be signed by 35% of voters in each position.
After reviewing the petitions, there are not enough valid signatures—each position received fewer than 260. This is much lower than the more than 700 signatures required for a recall in each position. As a result, a recall cannot legally move forward.
This matter is now closed.
It’s important to remember that our mayor and commissioners were elected through a fair and democratic process that reflects the will of the voters.
Together, we will continue building a stronger, more united San Benito, focused on a bright future for all!
