Three Nevada state senators targeted by recalls

A petition seeking to recall a third Nevada state senator in a competitive district has been filed.

It targets Democrat Nicole Cannizzaro, who represents Senate District 6 in the Northwest Las Vegas Valley.

The effort is trying to replace Cannizzaro with April Becker, a Republican.

It was filed by Neil Roth, CEO of Xtreme Green Electric Vehicles; his wife, Claire Roth; and a Kathryn McKenzie.

In order for the petition to force a recall election, it would need to gather signatures from 25 percent of the people who voted in District 6 in 2016.

The recall comes after similar petitions against state Sens. Joyce Woodhouse, a Democrat, and Patricia Farley, a nonpartisan.

The intent was to replace all three with Republicans.
