Jackson County recall election of Frank White could be delayed
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There could be legal action taken to delay the recall election of Democratic Jackson County Executive Frank White. County Counselor Bryan Covinsky spoke to FOX4 Tuesday about what he could see happening soon. Covinsky's boss is White, but he represents all the elected leaders on floor two of the Jackson County Courthouse. That includes the County Legislature too, who on Monday, for residents to vote on August 26. Mayor of Peculiar resigns amid impeachment proceedings; new mayor named FOX4 asked Covinsky if he thought the election boards will have enough time to put an election together for that date. 'No, I don't think they'll have time,' he replied. 'I'm anticipating that they'll be some legal action taken by the Election Board because of the ordinance filed that said 60 days, and I think it's listed as August 26, and I think they've expressed that before that it would be difficult for them to complete that.' The Kansas City Election Board (KCEB) and the Jackson County Election Board (JCEB) would not comment Tuesday. Thursday, July 3 though, the directors of the JCEB told FOX4 they wanted the election held November 4, not August 26. Mary Jo Spino is the county clerk of the Jackson County Legislature. She sits in front of legislators and reads ordinances and resolutions during their meetings. Spino has to certify an election for the JCEB and the KCEB to continue their processes, but that can't happen until White decides what he's going to do with the recall ordinance the legislature passed Monday 9-0. White has until July 17 to decide whether he'll sign or veto the ordinance. See the latest headlines in Kansas City and across Kansas, Missouri Covinsky was asked whether he thinks White potentially vetoing this would be a conflict of interest. 'You know, it's still part of the ordinances that the executive has that administrative authority to do that,' he replied. 'So for us to ignore the charter that says he has this ability to say that's a conflict of interest, again, I still think that gets fixed if you want to call it, or at least supported when they have the opportunity to veto or overrule him or to support his veto.' Democratic Legislative Chairman DaRon McGee seems to have a veto-proof majority on the issue. He would only need five other legislators to support the ordinance if White vetoes it. All eight other legislators supported him Monday. Tuesday, FOX4 asked him whether he was concerned an August 26 election date was not giving the KCEB and the JCEB enough time to get ready for a recall election.

So, I would just simply say our job as a legislature was to pass the ordinance and the resolution, which we did, and we have set an election date, and so I'm leaving it to the experts that deal with elections to get an election done by the date.' White has 10 days to veto Monday's ordinance, or until Thursday, July 17. The legislature has already set a meeting date of Friday, July 18, just in case they need to come in and override a White veto. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
