An effort in Corpus Christi, Texas, to recall Mayor Nelda Martinez from her position was launched in May 2016. Leah Tiner was gathering signatures for the recall, but failed to submit sufficient signatures to force an election by a deadline in July 2016.[1][2][3]
Recall supporters
Tiner initiated a signature drive against Martinez due to concerns about the city's water quality. She told KRIS that city residents were frustrated with repeated boiling water notices and the failure of city officials to answer community questions.[1]
