Irreverent mayor draws third term
From Times Wire Reports
Oscar Goodman, a former mob lawyer and self-proclaimed “happiest mayor in the world,” breezed to a third term as mayor of Las Vegas.
The Democrat won 84% of Tuesday’s vote with all precincts reporting, easily avoiding a June runoff.
Since he was first elected in 1999, Goodman has cultivated a popular, irreverent persona. He travels with a pair of showgirls and endorses Bombay Sapphire gin. He made headlines this year for teaching a class on martini making at a community college.
