An effort in Eagle, Idaho, to recall Mayor Jason Pierce and councilmembers Charlie Baun, Melissa Gindlesperger, Brad Pike, and Helen Russell began in October 2022.

Recall supporters
The recall effort was organized by the group Eagle Citizens for Open Government. Jane Rohling, an organizer with the group, told BoiseDev that the mayor and councilmembers have "shown a complete disregard for public input on many issues and, in fact, they have a tendency to be rude to people at public hearings who don’t agree with them instead of being more professional and neutral."[3]
