Cowboys for Trump founder survives county recall campaign
SANTA FE, N.M. – Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin has prevailed against efforts to recall him from office as a county commissioner in southern New Mexico. Recall committee spokesman Scott Fredrick said a petition drive collected 1,229 signatures from voters in Griffin’s Otero County district, short of what they needed to trigger a special election. New Mexico requires a number of signatures equal to 33.3% of participation in the previous election. The recall petition fell shy, with about 28% participation on Wednesday.
