Kate Brown is a massive FF and the Oregon Republican party is repulsive.

I oppose recall petitions.  They give electoral minorities the ability to disrupt orderly government. 

There is no cause to recall Kate Brown.

What if a governor is doing something really disastrous for the state, and getting rid of them can't wait until the next election?

That's what impeachment is for.  If it's awful enough, they'll be indicted or impeached (and probably removed).  That you don't like someone's policies isn't a reason.

Seriously, this. The underlying quality of a recall is that, if you can't win an election the normal way, then you can use the recall process to instead hold an off-season special election where the far smaller electorate may be more favorable to you. This isn't representative democracy.
Yup. Off elections and ballot measures shouldn't exist either.
