In November, residents hoping to remove Foro turned in signatures necessary to force the special election. Maricopa County election officials verified the signatures on Dec. 4, opening the door for applicants.
The vote-by-mail election, estimated to cost about $10,000, will conclude on March 11.
The deadline to submit signatures is Jan. 11. Each potential candidate needs 26 valid signatures to get placed on the ballot.
Neier, who lives in the same development as Foro, has not served previously in public office in Surprise.
On Monday, Sun Village resident Skip Hall announced he also hopes to join the race. Hall is a former planning and zoning commissioner.
Unlike a normal Surprise election, the winner in the recall does not need to get more than 50 percent of the vote. The person who receives the most votes is declared the winner.
