Good evening. My name is Jonathan Hawes. I served as El Monte City Clerk from 2013 to
2018. Since 2015 I have been a whistleblower on Andre Quintero and Team El Monte’s
embezzlement of $10 million from the El Monte Promise Foundation scholarship fund. I have
interviewed dozens of El Monte residents who have privately confirmed that Promise funds
were used for fraudulent trips to Vietnam and Haiti, a bogus consultant in Salt Lake City,
house repairs, and other criminal activities. I have myself been interviewed by the FBI about
two dozen times. Documents proving the embezzlement have been submitted to the FBI and
the District Attorney’s Office and are now available to the public online
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v434alh1dkikaj4TCNZLMsZkhftmtA8f/view?
usp=drive_web). I am asking the Menifee City Council to call out these crimes and protect the
vulnerable residents of one of the poorest cities in southern California. El Monte children, who
should’ve been provided with college scholarships, were robbed. Andre Quintero and Team El
Monte members must go to prison. If you have any questions, please call or text me at (626)
863-2149. Thank you.
