User:LizArchive/1986 Cheyenne gubernatorial election

The 1986 Cheyenne gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1986 to elect the Governor of Cheyenne. Governor Harley Morris-Hintza was eligible for another term, but decided to run for the U.S. Senate instead, and endorsed Chamel Mondale for Governor, who became the Social Democratic nominee. Andrew Jackson, a Representative, was the New Republican nominee. Chamel Mondale defeated Andrew Jackson by 18%, improving on Morris' 1984 margin of 7%. Independent candidate Hutcho Grenwich also recieved 1.15% of the vote.

Mondale would then resign shortly after the victory, giving the seat to Mark Rivera, who then made Mondale the Governor AGAIN by appointing him to Lieutenant Governor and resigning. Mondale would later resign AGAIN so that he could be appointed to a Senate seat in Savannah, making Elizabeth Kent the Governor.
