Colorado Gov. Jared Polis targeted by second recall effort in two years

The clock start­ed tick­ing Mon­day on an effort to recall Colorado’s gov­er­nor — the sec­ond attempt to remove Gov. Jared Polis since he took office less than two years ago.

The Col­orado Sec­re­tary of State’s Office approved the peti­tion for cir­cu­la­tion Mon­day, and orga­niz­ers have until Nov. 13 to col­lect 631,266 valid sig­na­tures to force a spe­cial elec­tion, as the Col­orado Sun first report­ed. A recall elec­tion would also include a ques­tion ask­ing vot­ers to select a replacement.

Back­ers of the effort say they’re tak­ing the step because Polis has abused his pow­ers dur­ing the pan­dem­ic, includ­ing by forc­ing busi­ness­es and hous­es of wor­ship to close and man­dat­ing masks.

“Peo­ple are just plain frus­trat­ed mad,” said Greg Mer­schel of the Recall Polis 2020 committee.

Mer­schel, who also was part of last year’s effort, said the van­dal­ism to the Capi­tol and sur­round­ing busi­ness­es has added fuel to the fire.

In a state­ment, governor’s spokesper­son Conor Cahill said Polis has focused on deliv­er­ing “real results for Coloradans.”

“Now dur­ing this unprece­dent­ed pan­dem­ic, Col­orado has been a mod­el for the coun­try thanks to the bold and swift actions by Gov­er­nor Polis, includ­ing being one of the first states to reopen,” he wrote. “Like the major­i­ty of Col­oradans, the Gov­er­nor believes that play­ing pol­i­tics dur­ing this chal­leng­ing time for our state and coun­try is sim­ply inap­pro­pri­ate and shameful.”
