Mohorc wins Chaffee mayoral race

CHAFFEE, Mo. -- The Chaffee mayoral race turned out to be a close contest between current city council members Jesse "Jack" Nordin and Loretta Mohorc, as many in Chaffee were anticipating.

Mohorc edged out Nordin by a margin of just 39 votes, 314 to 275, in a race that saw four candidates, one running on a clean-up-the-police and open government platform. That candidate was Hope Huey, who received only 23 votes in the race, the lowest total of all four candidates. Ronald Davis received 74 votes.

Mohorc and Nordin campaigned on similar platforms of infrastructure improvements, attracting business and efficient government.
