“
Have ignored and failure to put the citizens and residents of Alexandria needs. Failure to implement an adequate police recruiting and retention plan leading to low morale, bad leadership, and unsolved violent crimes. Failure to manage the colossal problems with the utility system (billing meter, readings, inconsistent cut off policies.) Failure to develop an economic development plan for the city. Lack of transparency. Bullying residents and business. Failure to address homeless.[3]

The number of valid signatures required to force a recall election is 33.3% of eligible voters in the district. Completed petitions must be submitted within 180 days of being filed with the Louisiana Secretary of State. Once signatures are handed in, the registrar of voters has 20 working days to certify the recall petition. If enough signatures are certified by the registrar of voters, the petition is forwarded to the governor who has 15 days to issue an election proclamation.
Petitions were filed with the secretary of state on September 19, 2023. Recall organizers had until March 17, 2024, to submit at least 6,329 valid signatures to put the recall election on the ballot.[1]
