Group files to recall supervisor


A group of 20 residents this week filed their intent to begin gathering signatures to recall 3rd District Supervisor Terry Lawson-Remer, who represents the city of Escondido among other North County communities. The is one of five members of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

According to the proponents of the recall: “Since taking the Oath of Office, Terra Lawson-Remer has pushed the agenda of special interests, lobbyists, and other outside entities; while refusing to listen to concerns of local constituents. Her policies and voting record go against the interests of struggling small businesses, families, and the constitutional rights of citizens. We need a public servant that will bring the community together to serve all the People of San Diego County, not just those that donated to their campaigns. Her divisive partisan rhetoric will continue to do irreparable harm to the County of San Diego if she remains in office. She has made it clear that she does not believe in accountability to her district or the hard-working People, Taxpayers, and Families of San Diego County. Therefore, she must be removed from office.”

The notification of intent includes the names and addresses of 20 residents, including 13 from Escondido. To view all the names and addresses, go to the legal notices in the printed edition, or see the end of this article.

The law requires that the notice that was printed in The Times-Advocate be filed with the San Diego County Registrar of Voters and within seven days of the filing of the notice of intention, Supervisor Lawson-Remer can file an answer to the recall.

Once all the legalities are past, the proponents may begin gathering signatures for the recall.  

The Times-Advocate sought a comment from Supervisor Remer’s office. Spencer Katz, her media contact got back the newspaper on Wednesday afternoon. He told the paper:  “This appears to be another attempt driven by far-right Trump supporters to overturn the results of the 2020 election so they can push their anti-science agenda and waste millions of taxpayer dollars in the process. Supervisor Lawson-Remer is proud to have been supported by an overwhelming 17 point landslide among voters last year, and will continue to focus on investing in our District 3 communities, protecting our environment, and helping our region’s small businesses and working families succeed.”

    what a bunch of looney toons! 30% of them don’t even live here!

    • Douglas Bark says:

      Support can and should come from anywhere. It need not be isolated to just this community. When something is wrong good people from everywhere should support standing up against it. I believe its called “solidarity”.

  3. Peter Gemar says:

    More crap from the right! How did the recall for Newsom work out?

  4. Heather J says:

    Thank you for acting in NC best interest. This woman spends tax payers money like she’s Marie Antoinette. She needs to go! All she does is kiss Nathan’s ass and punish tax payers.

  5. Tired, Poor, and Trans says:

    Terra Lawson-Remer is a progressive-ish Dem (who is also non-binary, woo). Of course conservatives (on the left and right, I imagine) are gonna be pretty allergic to her.

    The adress didn’t really cite any tangible claims against her, so I’m interested in what opponents are going to hold against her outside of the vague and generally incorrect accusation laid out before us.

    • Tired, Poor, and Trans says:

      Actually, I revise my earlier statement. Terra is hella progressive. She been kickin’ ass since high school.

  6. Sick of These Recalls! says:

    These recalls are getting out of hand. Twenty citizens can start a recall??? In a democracy if the voters want change they vote you out at election time. Recalls should be for extreme circumstances ONLY not employed when you loose an election. Recalls like this one are a complete waist of taxpayers time and money. NO MORE DO-OVERS !!!

  7. Nemo wood says:

    Terra is a looney and will push her nefarious agenda and we will be begging these people to take her out. She is ruining your city district 3.

  8. Nicole says:

    This will most certainly go nowhere but what is up with posting addresses? This seems really unethical and unsafe. Is this normal?

  9. Sgt Mike says:

    Can these 20 people actually provide the specific issues they feel Rep Terra-Lawson is pushing that they feel is bad for the community and her constituents? Probably not, but I think they should be required to do that rather than just write these vague statements and ask for a recall.
