Gerald K. Maloney
Gerald K. Maloney is an American politician who served as the second mayor of West Valley City, Utah.
==Election as West Valley City Mayor==
Maloney was a one-time critic of West Valley City's incorporation in 1980, but the businessman from the Hunter area of the city saw an opportunity to end the bickering between the city's original three commissioners when he jumped into the mayoral race of 1981. West Valley City's form of government at incorporation was composed of three commissioners: Mayor Henry H. "Hank" Price, Renee Mackay, and Jerald Wagstaff. City residents voted to change the form of government to a council-manager form on July 28, 1981, and all three commissioners entered the race for mayor. Maloney announced his bid for mayor in mid-September, believing that a new form of government merited new leadership. "You don't put old wine in new bottles," he said.〔Michael J. Gorrell, ''Let's Do It: West Valley City's Official Early History'' (West Valley City Civic Committee, 1993), 68-69.〕
The primary election of October 6, 1981 stunned the city's commissioners, as outsider Maloney led with 1,769 votes (30%), followed by Wagstaff with 1,689 (29%). Incumbent Mayor Hank Price (1,448 votes, 29%) and Mackay (972 votes, 17%) were eliminated. After the primary, Price mounted a write-in campaign to retain his seat, and Mackay endorsed her fellow city commissioner Wagstaff. "We don't need an all new Council to go unnecessarily through the growing pains we've been through," she said.〔Gorrell, 71-72, 105〕
On general election day, November 3, 1981, one-third of the city's eligible voters came out to elect Maloney as the city's second mayor. With a large turnout in his home area of Hunter, Maloney captured 42.7% (3,913 votes), Wagstaff polled 36.4% (3,329 votes), and Price posted an impressive showing for a write-in with 20.9% (1,912 votes). Mayor Maloney and the city's first city council were inaugurated on January 4, 1982 at Granger High School, with Judge David Kent Winder administering the oaths of office.〔Gorrell, 72, 106〕
