Martinez and Linares ultimately withdrew the petition on March 25, 2022.[1]

Recall opponents

Hartung gave the following statement in response to the petition:

I was surprised to learn that three voters, with the help of their Las Vegas lawyers, have signed a notice of intent to circulate a petition to recall my election. The petition doesn’t identify any reason attempting to overturn the will of tens of thousands of voters, nor does any exist.[2][3]
