GOP recall coordinator Stu Sandler and the Michigan Republican Party have ceased efforts to recall members of the Michigan House of Representatives.
Citing the completion of specific goals and recognition of what the Michigan Education Association (MEA) had to spend to be successful in the effort targeting former Representative Paul Scott, Sandler indicated that the decision was made following discussions with party leaders.
Six Democratic lawmakers were targeted and had reached the level of approved ballot language, which included efforts to recall State Representatives Tim Bledsoe (D-Grosse Pointe), Lisa Brown (D-West Bloomfield), Phil Cavanagh (D-Redford Township), Brandon Dillon (D-Grand Rapids), Dian Slavens (D-Canton Township), and Jim Townsend (D-Royal Oak).
