In Port Huron, recall efforts are targeting Council Members Sherry Archibald and Teri Lamb after their votes changed how the public can speak at city meetings. The petitions cleared a clarity hearing on March 6, meaning signature drives can begin. The changes separate local and non-local speakers and set sign-up rules for public comment. Archibald and Lamb both say they won’t appeal the decision— Organizers have until July 31 to gather 2,427 valid signatures to make the November ballot.

The Sanilac County Election Commission has signed off on recall petitions targeting Worth Township’s clerk and treasurer. Local resident Elizabeth Wineka filed the petitions, claiming Clerk Jennifer Marshall and Treasurer Jennifer Woodruff failed to perform their basic duties.
