Phillip Reyes was a member of the Duarte City Council and was the city's mayor in 1996, 2002, and 2008. In November 2013, he lost his seat in the municipal elections. Reyes was first elected to the Duarte City Council in 1993, and was re-elected in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009.

He also helped initiate the DAMAGE program as well as explorer program at Duarte High School, both of which resulted in the reduction of crime citywide. Several City of Duarte employees alleged in 2002 that Reyes engaged in various instances of misconduct toward them during his tenure as mayor that year.

Largent performed the investigation and privately submitted a report of her findings to the city council; a portion of the report was publicized for a time on the city's web site.
