The recall petitions were reviewed, the opportunity for challenges has expired, and the Calhoun County Clerk-Elections Office determined the petitions contain the minimum number of valid signatures needed to initiate a recall election.

On Monday, recall petition language was filed with the Calhoun County Clerk’s Office for the Precinct 3 council member, alleging that Brown directed City Manager Latonya Rufus to remove Scott Kipp from his position at the head of the Albion Public Safety Department; the language claims Sonya Brown violated the city charter by doing so.

Calhoun County Deputy Clerk of Elections Teri Loew says Monday that they have received recall petition language to recall Albion City Councilmember Sonya Brown from Precinct 3.

On Monday, recall language was announced once again in Albion, seeking the recall of Mayor Pro-Tem Sonya Brown. The Calhoun County Clerk’s Office says that the recall was submitted November 22 by a resident in Albion’s Precinct 3, in Brown’s district.

The Clerk’s Office says that the petition language seeks to recall Mayor Garrett Brown, and Council Member Sonya Brown from Precinct 3. The Calhoun County Election Commission will review the recall language on October 31, to determine if the language is factual and clear, before the petitions can be circulated among the voters.
