Louie Gonzales, Magdalena Barajas and Eva Carrillo Dong recall, Sunnyside Unified School District, Arizona (2010)

An effort to recall Louie Gonzales, Magdalena Barajas and Eva Carrillo Dong from their positions as members of the Sunnyside Unified School District school board failed when recall organizers did not turn in sufficient signatures by the signature deadline of May 24, 2010.

Sherrie Burdic was active in the recall effort. She felt that Gonzales, Barajas and Dong should be recalled because they supported district Sperintendent Manuel L. Isquierdo after an audit by Heinfeld & Meech revealed he had used the district's credit card to pay $12,545 in restaurant meals, car rentals and a hotel stay for his family. Isquierdo re-paid the credit card expenses after that audit determined that the expenses were not allowable.

Dong's current term on the board is up in November, when she must run for re-election if she wishes to stay on the board. The seats held by Gonzales and Barajas are up for re-election in November 2012.

Path to the ballot

2,398 signatures were required, for each recall target, to force a recall election.
