Idaho: Kamiah Mayor ousted in recall vote

Kamiah Mayor Betty Heater was ousted in a special election recall, 240-58. Due to Idaho's Queen of the Hill provision, the recall needed 130 votes in favor (the total Heater won in the last election) for it to count.

The issue was complaints of fiscal mismanagement and lack of administrative control. Kamiah faced a recall effort against Councilmembers in 2019. The recalls failed due to an administrative ruling after signatures were handed in.
