Recall petition begins against Cowboys for Trump founder

Couy Griffin

  SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A political committee has begun circulating a petition to recall Cowboys or Trump founder Couy Griffin from public office as a commissioner in Otero County. The Committee to Recall Couy Griffin said Thursday in a news release that it has begun collecting signatures in efforts to scheduled a recall election. The petition alleges that Griffin neglected and misused his position as a county commissioner while skipping public meetings and promoting a support group for President Donald Trump that Griffin treated as a for-profit business. Griffin calls the allegations frivolous and without merit. Separately, Griffin also confronts federal charges in connection with the U.S. Capitol siege.
