Nebraska: Lincoln Mayor and City Council facing recall threats

A City Council candidate in 2021, Benjamin Madsen, has said he is considering recall efforts against Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird and members of the city council. The recall is over the appointment of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Director.  Petitioners would need 21,652 signatures in 30 days to get the Gaylor Baird recall on the ballot. Three Council members are ineligible to be recalled, because they are in the grace period before the 2021 election.
