Moylan added that the document Khan signed was not the typical letter of resignation someone in public office would submit. “It’s not really a situation - when one is under duress, they’re in county jail, with officers present and the mayor comes in and tells you to resign - where someone could be in a position to make a proper decision,” she said. She said Sawyer’s assertion that his client was under duress may be valid. Mary-Beth Moylan, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Experiential Learning at McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, is a founder of the Global Lawyering Skills program at the school that covers a broad range of lawyering skills, including client interviewing and counseling.

In a video posted to the city’s Facebook page, Lodi Mayor Mikey Hothi said he visited Khan at the jail on Thursday afternoon and asked for Khan’s resignation. Khan was arrested at his Heritage District home Thursday morning on more than a dozen charges of voter fraud related to the 2020 election and booked into San Joaquin County Jail.

The event's host will be Rubix Q Arcana, a Lodi resident and drag queen, who will be joined by a squad from the Sacramento Cheer League, as well as the bands Face the Radio and Odilon, to provide entertainment. Its name is derived from the red ruby slippers Dorothy wears in the novel, clicking her heels three times to return home to Kansas. Keeping with the Wizard of Oz theme, Highwater Brewing will be offering a special beer during the event called the Red Ruby Sipper, a red ale mixed with edible glitter. In the 1940s and 1050s, he said, men would ask each other if they were "a friend of Dorothy's," and if the answer was yes, it was confirmed they were gay.
