An effort to recall Commissioner Lynn Jackson in Grand County, Utah, from his position on the county council did not go to a vote.

Recall proponents failed to collect enough signatures to force a recall election.

Jackson's opponents

Kiley Miller, a recall proponent, said, "Lynn Jackson has betrayed the public trust [and] abused his position as our representative." She claimed that Jackson limited the public's ability to be involved in county council meetings. According to Miller, Jackson did not share his agenda with the county and was not forthright about his involvement with an economic development and infrastructure coalition. She said, "People are very concerned because they feel that their welfare [and] economic investments are being threatened by his shortsightedness."

Jackson's response

Jackson acknowledged that some in the county, who he called a "sizable minority," disagreed with him. He said he was representing the majority of people. Jackson argued the county needs to balance natural resource conservation with natural resource development. He claimed that he supports expanding wilderness areas and watershed protection, but also developing an energy sector.

Jackson's daughter, Andrea Jackson, described herself as a "liberal environmentalist," but disagreed with recall proponents. She said, "I feel like it has become a personal attack more than it has a critique on how he has chosen to represent himself."

Path to the ballot

Led by former Grand County Council member Chris Baird, recall proponents were required to collect between 580 and 595 valid signatures by September 2, 2014. They collected about 400.
