Lawrence Council Delays No-Confidence Vote On Mayor DePena
Councilors sent the no-confidence resolution targeting Mayor Brian DePena to committee instead of voting on it.
The Lawrence City Council stopped short of voting on a no-confidence resolution against Mayor Brian DePena, instead referring the measure to committee, WCVB reported on October 7, 2026.
Under the council's action, the resolution will be taken up in committee for discussion before any vote is held, according to the station. That leaves the matter unresolved for now, with no date for a final vote reported.
WCVB described the move as the council holding off on the no-confidence vote rather than rejecting the resolution outright.
No further details on the reasons behind the resolution, the vote breakdown or a response from DePena were included in the station's report.
