An effort in Driggs, Idaho, to recall Mayor Hyrum Johnson from his position was launched in November 2015. The effort did not reach the ballot because organizers did not submit 151 signatures by December 9, 2015.[1][2]
Recall supporters
Steve Kerbs led the recall effort against Johnson and published ads advocating his removal in the Jackson Hole Daily. His recall petition cited restrictions on public comments at city council meetings, efforts to pass a nuisance ordinance and delays in renewing a contract with the Teton County Sheriff's Office.[1]
