Faced with a defiant mayor who has refused to heed mounting calls for his resignation, Windsor officials requested Thursday that the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office authorize a grand jury investigation into Dominic Foppoli’s “willful or corrupt misconduct in office.”
The obscure and quasi-criminal process is yet another route to potentially unseat Foppoli, who was a rising Wine Country politician and winery owner until several women accused him of sexual assault in Chronicle investigations last month.

A first step in the recall of Windsor Mayor Dominic Foppoli is expected to occur this morning.
The Recall Foppoli campaign is expected to file a “notice of intent” for the push to recall Mayor Foppoli with the Windsor Town Clerk. Once filed, Mayor Foppoli will have 7 days to respond after which the campaign will prepare a petition for circulation that likely won’t be ready for signing until mid-May. At that point, the campaign will have 120 days to gather signatures from 20% of Windsor’s 16,879 registered voters. Mayor Dominic Foppoli has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.
