Recall supporters
Both recall efforts were organized by White, a former city councilman who lost to Stebbins in the November 1983 election. In the first recall effort, White said that Stebbins had lied about his race. Stebbins identified as Black while Stebbins' birth certificate listed both of his parents as white. In the second recall effort, White alleged that Stebbins was not adequately representing District 9.[2]
