Two separate groups are currently involved in efforts to recall Jan Brewer from her position as governor of Arizona. The first effort was launched in November 2011. The second effort was launched in February 2012. A previous recall effort was launched against Brewer in January 2011, but recall supporters failed to gather enough signatures by the May 28th, 2011 submission deadline.

Recall supporters

Randy Parraz, president of Citizens for a Better Arizona, is spearheading the recall effort. Citizens for a Better Arizona was also behind the recall of former Arizona state senator Russell Pearce. Leonard Clark also supports the recall of Brewer, and he took out recall paperwork on February 3rd, 2012.

Path to the ballot

Parraz says his group is seeking citizen input in order to assess the viability of a recall effort. To force a recall election, 424,021 signatures would be required to be turned in by June 2. Parraz says he will formally launch a recall campaign if 5,000 Arizona voters each commit to gathering at least 100 signatures. Clark's petition would require 432,021 voter signatures by June 2nd.
