RECALL WHEELER

⚠ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: STATE OF THE CAMPAIGN
October 6, 2021 was the final day of the 90-day signature gathering period. To date we've counted the signatures of 21,763 Portlanders who believe that Ted Wheeler’s performance as mayor demands a city wide recall vote. Our thanks to each and every person who signed, donated, volunteered, and helped raise awareness.
However, amidst a global pandemic, an economic contraction, and historic heat events, signature gathering is uniquely constrained and expensive. Those difficulties are further compounded by the arbitrary 90-day signature gathering period, resulting in an unacceptable burden on the free speech and recall power of the people of Portland. Despite the fact that massive concessions and social alterations have been made to accommodate safety and prosperity in the face of COVD-19, the city’s elections office denied Total Recall’s extension request.
So, we’re taking them to court to ensure the people of Portland have adequate opportunity to hold their elected officials accountable through a constitutionally guaranteed recall process.
“We believe that the state constitution is clear. Recalls are a right afforded citizens and the legislature may not put onerous restrictions on that right — especially in the middle of a pandemic,” said Juan Chavez, a Portland civil rights lawyer.
We have asked a federal court to waive the existing deadlines and physical signature impediments, and expect the court’s review in the coming days. When we know more, we’ll share it with you.
Until then, thank you again.
Portland deserves better than Ted Wheeler. If you’re a Portland resident and are registered to vote, join the movement to recall him by signing today.
