She replaced Joel Engardio, who was recalled over his support for closing the Great Highway. In a statement, Alcaraz said, "I believe that my community deserves someone who will work 24/7 to advocate for us. And I understand that today's news stories would distract me from doing that." Mayor Lurie echoed that, writing in a statement: "I believe the residents of this community deserve better." The mayor will appoint Alcaraz's replacement.
