Ohio: Newton Falls Councilwoman recall vote scheduled for November 7

Newton Falls Councilwoman Tesa Spletzer is facing a potential recall election on November 7. Petitioners handed in 139 valid signatures and needed 101. 

Speltzer is accused of misbehavior at council meetings and an amorphous list of misfeasance complaints.

Newton Falls was the site of a one of the more contested 2021 recalls, where Councilwoman Sandra Breymaier lost a recall after appealing to the state Supreme Court (and having the election canceled once). Councilman John Baryak lost a recall in 1993 and then survived one in 2019.
