Petitioners working on the campaign to recall Ted Wheeler visited parks, grocery stores and MAX lines to gather signatures for their cause on July 1.
Total Recall PDX, founded by Portland lawyer Alan Kessler in Nov. 2020, is a political action committee intent on getting Wheeler out of office.
Total Recall’s reasoning for starting a campaign against Wheeler is based mainly on the mayor’s alleged political and fiscal malfeasance. Audrey Caines, an environmental and social activist who joined Total Recall PDX in May 2021, is heading the recall efforts as campaign manager.
Portland Center Stage released a statement today from Stacey Caldwell Roberts, incoming board chair; Cynthia Fuhrman, managing director, and Marissa Wolf, artistic director:
