With time expiring, sheriff recall group shy of signatures
EVERETT — A Snohomish County judge on Monday denied a last-minute request by residents seeking to recall Sheriff Adam Fortney for more time to gather signatures and put the question in front of voters.
Within minutes of the ruling by Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Jennifer R. Langbehn, a leader of the recall effort said they had come up short in their quest.
“At this point we don’t have the requisite number of signatures and will not be submitting signed petitions unless we achieve that mark,” said Colin McMahon, chair of the Committee to Recall Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney.
To qualify for the ballot, the group must turn in signatures of roughly 45,000 registered voters by 5 p.m. Tuesday.
