Michigan: Buchanan Mayor resigns before recall vote

Buchanan Mayor Sean Denison has resigned before the Election Day recall will be held.

The recall was over the indefinite suspension of the City Manager (Denison notes he was following the advice of counsel). This is the fourth City manager since 2020. Petitioners handed in 532 signatures and had 396 validated. They needed 380.

Election Commission previously rejected the language of tan earlier petition against Buchanan Mayor Sean Denison, due to the petition misspelling the word "Buchanan."
