Madera Supervisor Candidate Legal Troubles & Avenal Council Members Face Recall

Charles “Brook” Allen, 48, was previously incarcerated for vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence in his early 20s and is currently a defendant in two court cases regarding his businesses, one of which involves a misdemeanor charge. Allen is running in the June primary election for the District 5 seat that represents a sprawling portion of eastern Madera County, including Tesoro Viejo, Oakhurst, Coarsegold and other foothill communities.  Kings County Superior Court on Thursday denied Avenal’s request for a preliminary injunction, allowing the recall election to proceed as scheduled. The election to recall city council members Leticia Gamez, David Reynosa, Pablo Hernandez and Mayor Alvaro Preciado, is Tuesday. Preciado and Hernandez’s terms expires in November. Gamez and Reynosa’s terms expire in 2028.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
