An effort in Upland, California, to recall Mayor Ray Musser from his position was launched in October 2015. A notice of intent was filed with the city clerk and petitions were circulating through February 2016. The recall did not go to a vote because recall supporters failed to collect enough signatures for an election.[1][2]
Recall supporters
Hal Tanner filed his notice of intent because of disagreements over the city's leadership under Musser. Tanner was pursuing a recall in case Musser decided to seek re-election in 2016.[1]
Response by Ray Musser
Musser told the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin that he had not decided on a 2016 re-election bid and argued that Tanner was trying to discourage him from seeking another term.[1]
