New Mexico: Clovis commissioner facing petitions from previous opponent

Another member of the Clovis government is facing recall threat -- this time against Commissioner Randy Crowder. The lead proponent of the recall is Jan Elliot, who lost to Crowder in his 2012 race 1060-518. The recall claim is based around about her request for information about an ad hoc committee examining the city's economic development procedures. Petitioners needs 322 signatures (20% of turnout) in 60 days.

There is already a recall being undertaken against Commissioner Bobby Sandoval. Clovis was also the city where Mayor David Lansford faced recall threats after calling President Obama "the carnal manifestation of evil," and credited his election to a CIA conspiracy.
