An effort in Huber Heights, Ohio, to recall Mayor Tom McMasters from his position was launched in May 2016. Huber Residents for Sound Leadership PAC filed initial recall paperwork with the city council clerk on May 10, 2016. As of December 2016, this recall effort appeared to be abandoned and Ballotpedia discontinued active coverage. Please contact us if new developments occur with this recall effort.

Recall supporters

A group of recall organizers unsuccessfully sought to remove McMasters in 2014 due to concerns over his understanding of tax increment financing and his contentious relationship with the city manager. A second group renewed the effort in 2016 following a censure by the Huber Heights City Council and complaints about the mayor's behavior by city staff.

Recall opponents

McMasters was quoted by the Dayton Daily News regarding the recall effort:

“	The more publicity you give them (the petitioners), the more my name gets out there, and there won’t be any comprehensible reason for what they’re doing. It’s unfortunate we have this element within the city that likes to start controversy.	”
—Tom McMasters (2016)
