Stephenson moves to Riverside mayoral seat

The Nov. 4 election brought some changes to the Riverside town council as Leroy Stephenson was elected mayor and Ed Golden was elected to the council.

Ron Bedwell is now an outgoing mayor, and Karran Bedwell did not win reelection to her council seat. Fred Lorenz was reelected to the council.

“I am happy that the majority of the voters thought I would do a good job as mayor and I appreciate their confidence,” Stephenson said.

Stephenson was originally slated to run unopposed, but Ron Bedwell entered the race after meeting the criteria for write-in votes during the primary election.
