Recall election set for Tuesday

REMINDER:

The election to determine whether to recall three of Tucumcari’s five commissioners will be held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Tucumcari Convention Center, 1500 W. Route 66 Blvd.

The commissioners facing recall are Ralph Moya, District 1; Amy Gutierrez, District 2; and Mayor Ruth Ann Litchfield, District 3.

A petition to recall Mayor Pro Tem Robert Lumpkin, District 4, failed to receive enough valid signatures to qualify for a recall vote.

Commissioner Todd Duplantis, District 5, was appointed to the commission March 29 to replace John Mihm, who died in December.

Voters residing in the districts in which commissioners are subject to the recall may vote only on whether to recall the commissioner for their own district.
