Mesa councilwoman will face recall election

The recall election for Mesa City Councilwoman Julie Spilsbury is a go.

City Council is expected on Tuesday, July 8, to vote on a resolution calling for a special election Nov. 4 with a mail-in ballot for voters living in council District 2, which encompasses central and south-central Mesa.

Maricopa County Recorder’s office verified 3,858 of the 5,235 signatures on the recall petition. The required number of signatures to trigger an election is 3,070. It will be the first recall election for a Mesa Council member in almost 50 years.

Spilsbury contended that the reasons for kicking her out of office are a ruse, noting that the recall was funded and organized by Turning Point USA. Its founder is Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist.

The Councilwoman is a Republican who endorsed Democrats such as Kamala Harris which seems to be the main reason why Republican groups such as Turning Point USA want to kick her out.
