## Recall supporters[edit]

Recall organizer Raul Elias initiated the recall effort after a video was made public in which Salcido chastised a high school student for wearing a U.S. Marine Corps sweatshirt. In that video, Salcido called military members the lowest of our low. Salcido taught history and government at El Rancho High School. He was fired from that job as a result of the video.[1]

## Recall opponents[edit]

Salcido issued the following response to the effort:

“  |

I am confident the good people of Pico Rivera will recognize this recall effort as the manifestation of petty elected officials, compromised appointed officials, and chronic malcontents exploiting a grossly and irresponsibly exaggerated situation to spuriously distract the public from the true nature of events in question.[1][2]

## Path to the ballot[edit]

See also: Laws governing recall in California

Recalls of local officials in California start with notices of intent to targeted officials. Each notice requires signatures from 10 city residents, the name of the targeted official, and reasoning for the recall that cannot exceed 200 words. A copy of the notice is delivered to the city clerk, who publishes the notice in at least three public places. Targeted officials have seven days following receipt of their notices to issue statements of defense. A recall petition can be circulated against each targeted official once the notice of intent is published. Recall petitioners began gathering signatures on April 25, 2018, and had until August 23, 2018, to submit 6,386 signatures required to move the recall election forward.[1]
