A recall effort is emerging against Oregon 26th District State Senator Chuck Thomsen,one of the Republican lawmakers who left the Capitol to protest environmental legislation.  The Portland Tribune reports that the Parkdale lawmaker could face an election to remove him from office if organizers can gather enough signatures.  A Hood River resident, Lara Dunn, launched the recall petition against Thomsen because of his role in the walkout.  The Oregon Secretary of State’s office says in order to force a recall election, the petition effort must gather 9,025 valid signatures by June 2.  Thomsen’s district includes Hood River County, and goes over Mount Hood into Clackamas County to include Sandy, and also contains a portion of Southeast Portland.  The district contains around 7,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, but non-affiliated voters make up the largest bloc.
