The recall of Cleveland Heights Mayor Kahlil Seren has made the ballot, with petitioners getting 3845 valid signatures. They needed 2900. Approximately 500 were invalidated. The recall would be held on be September 9, the same day as the primary.
It was previously announced that Seren had failed to make the ballot for a reelection race, he needed 342 signatures but was 39 short (a number of petitioners had signed other petitions as well).
The recall is over claims that his wife has allegedly made numerous anti-Semitic comments against city employees and other officials and a civil rights complaint filed against him. Seren is also being faulted for a high turnover rate and failed budget process.
