An effort in Lincoln City, Oregon, to recall Mayor Don Williams from his position was launched in October 2016. City resident MacNeale Smith filed a petition with the city recorder seeking Williams' recall on October 31, 2016.[1] The recall did not go to a vote because Smith did not submit enough signatures by a January 29 deadline to force an election.[2]
Recall supporters
Smith cited Williams' behavior at an October 2016 council meeting in his recall petition. According to Smith, Williams told meeting attendees to end disruptions and argued that he had the power to arrest anyone delaying council proceedings. The petition concluded that these actions prevented city residents from participation in council meetings.[1]
