Following the City Council’s vote in favor of a new mosque site plan, McKinney residents launched a recall effort against four elected officials. A recall is a process by which citizens petition to call a special election in which voters decide whether or not to remove elected officials from office before the end of their term.
The recall campaign against McKinney mayor Bill Cox and three city council members claim to have submitted more than 6500 “internally verified” signatures, which is more than the 5805 required by the city charter.
The city secretary is now tasked with verifying the signatures before the four officials must choose between resigning or facing a recall election. The election will likely take place in May of 2027. If the four officials named in the recall refuse to resign, all seven members of the city council could be on the May ballot.
The recall organizers state the recall not an anti-Islam vote, and is the result of repeated grievances. However, the Mosque vote is still an important issue. Establishing accountability is key to protecting America’s borders even if immigration is not admitted to be the central issue.
The McKinney recall is an opportunity to reassert the foundational principle of democracy, that the government answers to the people.
Mayor Bill Cox and the city council chose to side with the McKinney Islamic Association over their constituents. Will they be held accountable?
Allowing these leaders to stay in power would be a surrender to both the Islamic invasion of Texas and disloyal politicians. Texans for Strong Borders supports the McKinney Recall effort and calls on patriots living in McKinney to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
