Gorman Wins In Hazard

KENTUCKY...
For the first time in more than 30 years the voters in the city of Hazard have elected a new mayor, but the last name is familiar. Nan Gorman, won 74 percent of the vote on Tuesday, running as a write-in candidate to replace her husband, Bill Gorman, who died October 9th after 37 years in office. Nan Gorman, who was appointed interim mayor, registered the next week to run as a write-in against Gorman's only registered opponent, former Hazard police officer Ken Bryant. Gorman won 1,139 votes to Bryant's 401.

She hopes to continue the progress the city has made for the last 33 years. Some said that she had no experience in politics and that she was only around it, but she says that’s not the case, “I was by his side the whole time. Been to Washington and Frankfort and all over the countryside.”
