Update: 6/22/2026

On 6/22/2026 Lowell Township officials filed an appeal to Kent County Circuit Court in effort to overturn the unanimous ruling issued on 6/16/2026 which approved all seven recall petitions filed for Township Supervisor Jerry Hale, Trustee Mark Anderson, and Trustee William Thompson. 

The Committee for Lowell Township Recall forecasted this move and remain confident in the original decision issued by the court. 

A date for an appeal hearing has not yet been set. This may take up to, but should not exceed, a period of 40 days. After that time, canvassing efforts will resume in full force. In the meantime we will continue to organize, train, and prepare for the signatory process.

Update: 6/16/2026

A hearing was held on Tuesday June 16, 2026 at the Kent County Courthouse to evaluate the fact and clarity of the recall petitions submitted for each applicant. At that time ALL recall petitions were APPROVED.

The township officials have 10 days to appeal the decision.

In the mean time, we advance to the next phase of the process which includes but is not limited to: assembling volunteers and the necessary supplies to begin the signature collecting process. This will happen quickly so stay tuned here for volunteer opportunities, events, and updates! 

Update: 6/14/2026

The Kent County Elections Commission will hear arguments in favor of recall for all three officials on Tuesday June 16, 2026 at the Kent County Courthouse. 

• 3 recall petitions were submitted for Jerry Hale
• 2 recall petitions were submitted for Mark Anderson
• 2 recall petitions were submitted for William Thompson

The commission may approve all, some, or none of the petitions submitted. 

If petitions are approved we go to the next phase of the process. This includes but is not limited to the appeals process or the signature collecting process. 

This website will be updated pending results of that hearing.
