PALMER LAKE — A group of citizens has launched a formal recall effort in the Town of Palmer Lake after the Town Clerk approved the petitions.

The nonprofit, Integrity Matters, says the campaign aims to do the following:

  • restore trust
  • transparency
  • accountability in local leadership

According to Colorado requirements, 275 signatures per petition must be collected by May 23 for the recall to proceed.

Palmer Lake resident Beth Harris, a leader for the group, released the following statement:

“This is not just about politics — it’s about principle. We’re standing up for the core values that make Palmer Lake a strong and respectful community. Residents deserve leaders who uphold their oath of office and treat the public with basic human decency and follow the Rule of Law.”

  • violations of public trust
  • erosion of civil discourse
  • decisions that have failed to reflect the will and best interests of the community
