Recall reports

An election to recall Ward 1 City Councilmember Kelly Wolfe had been scheduled for March 8, 2022, in Kirtland, Ohio. However, the election was canceled after Wolfe resigned from office.[1]

Recall supporters

Organizers initiated the recall campaign in response to Wolfe's vote against terminating Police Chief Lance Nosse in August 2021.[1]

Recall opponents

Wolfe said that she had “broken no laws” and that she had not “violated any ethics.” In her resignation letter, she wrote, "My decision to support the Chief during the suspension hearing was not based on personal matters but on the fact that he deserved to be treated with the respect of his position until matters were decided on — something I believe all City employees deserve. I did not receive any personal gain from this decision."[1]
