Ortiz has denied that his unemployment claim was improper, saying the allegations were politically motivated. The unemployment filing became public in April. Then, in February, Ortiz filed an unemployment claim against the city with the California Employment Development Department - despite the fact he continued to earn his council member stipend and expense allowance. His tenure was rocky after he refused to wear a mask at city events and referred to coronavirus safety measures as a conspiracy. Ortiz, the former UFC light heavyweight champion and a local celebrity, was elected in November 2020. "When my children's safety becomes a matter, I'm a father and I'm going to protect my children." "As of recent, the attacks against me have moved into involving my family," Ortiz said. His two sons recently made national news when they were sent home from school after arriving without required face masks. Ortiz said he made the decision on behalf of his family, the newspaper said. Meanwhile, the council will begin discussing the appointment of someone to fill Ortiz's vacated seat, according to a city statement. In a 6-0 vote Wednesday, the City Council chose Councilwoman Barbara Delgleize as the new mayor pro tem. "This job isn't working for me," Ortiz said. Ortiz, who was the city's mayor pro tem, announced his resignation Tuesday night during the first in-person council meeting of the year, the Orange County Register reported. Former mixed martial arts fighter Tito Ortiz has resigned from his position on the City Council of Huntington Beach, California, saying he was prompted to quit because of attacks by the media.
