Iowa: Proposed Constitutional Amendment adopting recall passes subcommittee

Iowa is now looking at a proposed Constitutional Amendment adopting the recall for all officials (it has passed a subcommittee). The proposed law would require 25% of turnout for the governor's race in that district to get on the ballot and would include a one-year grace period. They would use a special election model (ala Wisconsin), with a new race for the office. The targeted official would be included in the race. It looks like Senator Cherielynn Westrich (R) is the prime backer. The amendment needs to pass a second legislative session in 2025 or 2026 before being voted on by the voters.
