El Paso mayor fails to stop recall election in lawsuit against churches, others
Texas court refuses to issue immediate order that would prevent recall election against mayor, two council members
EL PASO, Texas — El Paso Mayor John Cook has failed to stop a recall election against him and two city council members after filing suit against ministries and others who circulated recall petitions. Monday a state judge officially denied Cook’s request for a preliminary injunction to stop the election; the case is ongoing with a trial set for June. Cook sued Tom Brown Ministries, Word of Life Church of El Paso, El Pasoans for Traditional Family Values, and other local citizens to silence them from speaking out against the mayor’s policies that impact El Paso families. Alliance Defense Fund attorneys, who represent the parties being attacked by Cook, filed a counterclaim against him that is still pending before the court.
