State Representative Mark Finchem (R) has sent a cease and desist order to the group looking to launch a recall against Finchem over his alleged support for the Capitol Hill riots on January 6th and the attempted overthrow of the presidential election. Finchem is alleging that the group is defaming him, presumably by running a recall effort. Finchem is running for Secretary of State, where he would be in charge of elections.
The effort had been facing questions after the Chair of the Casa Grande Democrats, Ralph Atchue stepped back from the effort to let professionals run it. Representative Athena Salman (D) has also introduced a resolution to expel Finchem. Finchem accepted more than $6000 from Trump in Recount legal consulting. After facing an ethics complaint, Finchem filed ethic complaints against nearly all Democrats in the state legislature, which went nowhere.
Petitioners would need 24,774 signatures in 120 days.
