Few expected Clement Ashburn to lose, he had run unopposed for years, especially considering his ties to the Blackwell family. Rivera's ties to Teresa Ashburn might have made the change in leadership easier for people outside their private circles. Clement Ashburn did not take his loss quietly and it created distance between him and Teresa Ashburn. The dissidence amongst them ceased when Clement Ashburn died of a heart attack in December 2005. Rivera won on a promise to bring Easthallow in a new era of modernity and luxury.
