Newport News is looking into amending its charter to add a recall option for city council members. Mayor McKinley Price is in favor of the recall law. The state legislature would need to approve it.
Petitions would need 25% of turnout (at least 300 signatures for each district and 1000 for the mayor). There would also be a one year grace period.
In 2019, Newport News Vice Mayor Tina Vick faced recall threats, though it seems not to have any legal backing to it.
