In 2018 , Isgro faced a recall election after he made a Twitter post mocking David Hogg , a survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland , Florida . The recall effort was backed by former Mayor Karen Heck , a Democrat who had previously endorsed Isgro . Isgro later made his Twitter feed private and said that he had deleted the post . During the recall effort , Isgro asserted that outside interests and the City Council were plotting to oust him over disputes over the city budget and taxation . After an acrimonious recall campaign , Waterville voters narrowly defeated the recall attempt , with 1,563 " no " votes ( 51 % ) to 1,472 " yes " votes ( 49 % )
