Papers Filed to Start Recall Process of District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio

By on • ( 6 Comments )
Above: Richard Corriea, retired SFPD commander and former captain at the Richmond Station, turns a petition signed by 80 Sunset District residents over to the SF Department of Elections to start a recall process against District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio. Those calling for the ouster of the supervisor are upset over the recent passage of Proposition K, the measure Engardio introduced to close the Upper Great Highway to vehicle traffic. The supervisor has seven days to respond. If the language of the petition is approved, a signature-gathering drive would begin. Close to 10,000 valid signatures will have to be garnered from District 4 residents over the course of three months for a special election to be called.

  1. They should make garnering the 10K signatures for his recall citywide — just like he did with prop K. Seems the only fair thing to do.

  3. Kay V. the signatures have already been largely gathered.

    Unlike Prop K, the recall of Engardio is a Sunset only affair.

    As it should be.

  4. YES!!!!!

    So – how do we support this? How can we get involved and donate? I couldn’t find anything online and I can’t WAIT to make this happen!

    Side note: the best argument against Prop K was one that wasn’t really circulated. In case of an earthquake or another major disaster, that’s one of the best ways out of the city. Can you imagine people trying to evacuate down 19th Avenue???
