Vote no on the recall in Palmer

To the editor:

Here we go again – another recall election in Palmer. This time it is our Mayor, Steve Carrington, who is on the ballot to be recalled.

I am writing to urge all Palmer residents to:

1) Vote – only 331 people out of the approximately 5000 registered residents in the city voted in the last election,

2) Vote no -- Steve Carrington is up for reelection in October. The last thing Palmer needs right now is more chaos, and chaos is just what we would get if the Mayor gets recalled. This process would create more instability in the City Council at a time when the new City Manager has just started work, the Library project desperately needs to move forward, and our council needs to get some work done. Removing our mayor would only exasperate an already tenuous City Council.

3) Please consider running for City Council or Mayor in the upcoming election in October 2025. We need intelligent, qualified professionals that know how to conduct themselves in a meeting, run a meeting, and juggle the necessary balls to get work done for the City of Palmer.

I urge all residents to show up at the ballot box by either early voting starting Monday, May 5th or showing up on Election Day May 20th and voting no on the recall vote.

Palmer residents vote no on the recall.

Lisbeth Jackson,

Palmer
