Springfield Mayoral Election, 1984

The City of Springfield Mayoral election of 1984 was likely the last one in which now-governor Mary Bailey participated. Because Bailey would be running fir Governor upon leaving office, she like was a well liked mayor at home, and so probably had no opponent. She also likely did something extrordinary in office, as Springfield is a relatively small city, and not a good place to earn state-wide name recognition.
