Big sister beats little brother for mayor in Ohio village


MONTEZUMA, Ohio (AP) -- Score one for the big sister in the battle of two siblings running for village mayor.

Charlotte Garman, mayor of this western Ohio community for eight years, held off a challenge on Tuesday from her brother, Daniel Huffman, to keep her office.

She got 43 votes and her brother had 24.

Huffman, a carpenter and electrician, had admitted that his decision to challenge his sister for the seat probably didn't sit well with her.

But the two kept the sibling rivalry friendly and there was no bickering or name calling.
