Elections
2016
An effort to recall John Mueller from his position on the Los Banos Unified School District Board of Education was on the ballot on August 23, 2016. The recall was successful, ousting Mueller from his seat and electing Ray Martinez in his place.[1][3][4] Mueller's recall notice provided six reasons for the recall effort, including a failure to communicate with constituents in his trustee area, poor test scores across the district, and nepotism.[5] Mueller responded by saying his personal cellphone number was always available through the district and that he believed in hiring those most qualified for the job.[6] Martinez, a former firefighter and Los Banos resident, was the only candidate to run to replace Mueller in the recall election.[2]
