Recall supporters
Winslow Village Board of Trustees member Rick Addink organized the recall effort. Addink alleged that Klein, Woodring, and Kotik were not eligible to sit on the board because they do not reside within the village limits.[1]
Recall opponents
Kotik has said that under a decision by former Dodge County Clerk Fred Mytty, he, Klein, and Woodring were allowed to serve on the board. Mytty's decision came after a 2019 flood.[1][2]
