Jesus Cardenas, chief of staff to Councilmember Stephen Whitburn, says he tendered his resignation on Monday, months after the San Diego Union-Tribune first reported on his potential conflicts with his political consulting work.

Jesus Cardenas, who helped Councilmember Stephen Whitburn get elected in 2020, earns up to $100,000 a year from Grassroots Resources Corp.

“Although I have an interest in Grassroots Resources, I no longer manage operations, seek clients or engage in day-to-day activities,” he said last summer. “I have not received any financial compensation from any city entity doing business in front of the city.” The decision comes after an ultimatum from San Diego councilmember and revelations about the firm’s federal COVID-19 relief loan.
