(KLZA)--Circulators of a recall petition for Auburn Mayor Chris Erickson have submitted petitions to the Nemaha County Clerk's Office for verification.
301 signatures from registered voters in the city limits of Auburn must be verified to force a recall election.
Amanda Powell says in the petition that she has initiated the effort because Erickson abuses his office, is ineffective as a leader and appointed someone with a conflict of interest who profits from the city.
Erickson was sworn in as Mayor of Auburn in December of 2022 and served as a City Council member prior to being elected Mayor.
