• On the ballot twice: Because of the concurrent victories in the SD-29 Special Election and AD-59 General Election, Mountjoy was actually elected to both houses of the legislature for the 1995-96 Session. After initially being seated on December 5, 1994 as a member of the Assembly, Mountjoy was removed from office on January 23, 1995 after a majority of the membership of the Assembly determined that he was "not duly elected and qualified to be an Assembly Member..."
