Too Bad She's Not Your Mayor

  • 18 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

In another edition of our ongoing series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Arlington, Oregon. As 9News reports:

Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, whose MySpace photos of her posing in black lingerie on a fire engine put this Columbia River town of 600 into something of a pother, told ABC’s 20/20 Friday night that she’s not stepping down.

“They’re going to have to drag me out of here,” she said.

The pictures were taken before she thought of running for mayor, said Kontur-Gronquist, 42, the first woman to hold the unpaid position. She said she had permission from the fire chief to use the engine and had intended to use the photos in a contest about fitness in women.

A relative set up the MySpace page, hoping it would jump-start her social life, said Kontur-Gronquist, a single parent. Family members uploaded the photos and she said she saw no reason to take them down once elected.

“I had no clue that it would cause such a negative reaction,” she said. “I called my council members and apologized. Everyone is entitled to their own private life.”

“No clue,” huh? You really didn’t think the conservative portion of your town wouldn’t be bothered by this?

  1. Sheesh, she posed modestly. She’s a good-looking woman and I’m surprised she’s had a hard time getting dates. I wish her a long, successful mayoralty and happiness in her social life.

    What a bunch of freaking prudes.

    1. The women did that photo many years ago, and is now single. Her family set the site up, not here. But even the photo was not that bad. Contrast that with all the presidential candidates who ran around on their spouses, and I would say that overall, she is a queen.
