I think Rodney should be recalled. Forget about the official rules, we don’t want him any more. Remember that the Democratic establishment put him in office.
Time to gather in the rotunda!

This requirement has proven difficult to meet. A 2010 effort to initiate a recall campaign against members of the Seattle School Board after the board received a bad audit from the Washington State Auditor came to naught when a judge ruled that this constituted insufficient grounds under the state’s constitution for a recall.[2][3]
