GOP targets Democratic Colorado Springs state Sens. Pete Lee and Brittany Pettersen for recall

Recall petitions against two Colorado Democratic lawmakers were approved Friday by the Secretary of State’s Office.

The recall drives target state Sens. Pete Lee of Colorado Springs and Brittany Pettersen of Lakewood.

The filers are Republicans Scott David Fisher of Colorado Springs for Lee and Nancy Pallozzi of Lakewood for Pettersen. Both petitions are backed by the same group that backed the recall petition against Gov. Jared Polis, the Resist Polis PAC.

Both now have 60 days to gather sufficient petition signatures to qualify the recall for the ballot. The petition to recall Lee will need 11,304 valid signatures, while Pettersen’s petition will need 18,376.
