SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Mayor of San Luis, Arizona, along with two City Council members, are facing a possible recall election.
A petition to recall Mayor Nieves Riedel was filed this week, citing concerns over a lack of collaboration with City Council members and the community.
Two other petitions target Council members Luis Cabrera and Lizeth Servín, alleging they haven’t met their responsibilities.
Cabrera says that’s not true adding, “I’m still here to do the same thing I was doing since day one, which is working for San Luis for the citizens to make sure that everyone has a voice in the City Council, not just a few. We’re gonna continue working as best as we can and continue doing what’s best for the citizens of San Luis.”
Petitioners in San Luis need to gather more than 1,200 valid signatures to recall a council member and at least 682 to recall the mayor.
If they get enough valid signatures, it would be up to voters to decide if anyone get recalled.
