East Cleveland residents voted to keep Mayor Brandon King in Tuesday鈥檚 recall election.
King, who has been accused of creating a $60 million budget deficit, sexually harassing his former secretary and other offenses by East Cleveland City Council, first took office in 2016 following the recalls of the then-mayor and city council president.
This is his second recall election. He survived the first by 19 votes, but in Tuesday鈥檚 race, he clinched more than 70% of the votes in his favor, although voter turnout was very low. Fewer than 300 people cast ballots, according to unofficial results.
