Gary Cloutier is a politician elected mayor of Vallejo, California on November 21, 2007, sworn in on December 4, 2007, but replaced by Osby Davis on December 8, 2007. His opponent, real estate attorney Osby Davis, requested a recount that showed Davis had won the election by fewer than five votes. However, on December 8, 2007, Cloutier said he would be taking legal steps "soon" to challenge the recount.[1] Both candidates represent a first for Vallejo: Cloutier would be the first openly gay mayor of Vallejo, whereas Davis would be its first African-American mayor.
