3 unusual facts about Willis Mahoney


Willis Mahoney

Just one year after his defeat, Mahoney was charged with reckless driving in an incident that killed Thomas L. Zimmerman of Shedd.

The reckless driving case seemed to be over by 1938, but it was re-opened during the campaign, but didn't effect Mahoney's campaign from moving forward, but he lost the race 55-45% to Holman, and was defeated for yet another run for the Senate in 1944, by Guy Cordon.

He was a member of the Washington State legislature, mayor of Klamath Falls, Oregon and three times was a candidate to represent Oregon in the United States Senate, losing to Charles L. McNary in 1936, Rufus Holman in 1938, and Guy Cordon in 1944.
