Rocky Ford’s newly elected mayor and councilman both hope youth, new ideas and hard work will bring the town to recovery from financial and legal issues. In a special election Tuesday, former councilman Ken Mock took the mayor’s seat while newcomer Drew Dudley won the council position Mock vacated in order to run for mayor. Rocky Ford remains under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding an undisclosed amount of missing money.
