An effort in Stockton, California, to recall Mayor Michael Tubbs from his position was initiated by recall organizer Brenda Vazquez on January 10, 2018. Recall organizers failed to submit enough signatures to move the recall forward.

Recall supporters

According to Recordnet, petitioners alleged that Tubbs had neglected basic city services such as parks, street maintenance, homelessness, and other major city issues.

Recall opponents

Tubbs issued a statement in response to the recall effort. He said, "I fully support accountability and transparency. Yet, some will use these tools to distort the truth and overturn the results of our last election. The power to remove an individual from office is reserved for the greatest betrayals of public trust, not just because you disagree with someone. I am proud to be your mayor and I look forward to continue working on behalf of the people."

Recalls of local officials in California start with notices of intent to targeted officials. Each notice requires signatures from 10 city residents, the name of the targeted official, and reasoning for the recall that cannot exceed 200 words. A copy of the notice is delivered to the city clerk, who publishes the notice in at least three public places. Targeted officials have seven days following receipt of their notices to issue statements of defense.

A recall petition can be circulated against each targeted official once the notice of intent is published. Vazquez needed to gather 15,918 valid signatures from registered voters in the city by July 23, 2018, to require an election.
