EASTPOINTE — An Eastpointe councilman who has faced recall attempts did not win reelection to City Council.

In the Nov. 4 election, Cardi DeMonaco Jr. placed third in a race for two seats with 1,895 votes, or 25.69% of the total votes.

DeMonaco, who also served as the city’s mayor pro tem, has served several terms on the City Council since 2014. However, he has faced criticism and several recall attempts spearheaded by Eastpointe residents for voting in favor of the Nine Mile Road diet plans.

In April 2024, DeMonaco was also one of several City Council members accused by members of the public of taking bribes to approve recreational marijuana licenses, which he and the council members denied.

In a Facebook post following the election, DeMonaco thanked everyone for their support.
