Texas's longest-serving mayor talks to me about nearly 50 years on the job

This is a story I kind of happened upon. Obviously, the people of Stafford, TX (a Houston suburb) know of Leonard Scarcella's long tenure as mayor. But not everyone does. I interviewed him about a major new development coming to the city and chatted with him afterward. He told me he was first elected in 1969. I thought "wow." I pitched that as a story the next day. Turns out, Scarcella is Texas's longest-serving mayor and he may be the longest-serving mayor nationwide who is still alive. And he plans to run again next year.
