Not necessarily. It may just be that, in the case of Sunny Skies and his father, they both became interested in doing the same work their father had done. Presumably Grandpa Skies and Sunny Skies' dad taught their sons how to do the job well, and they apparently grew up as upstanding members of the community. As such, when each sought the office of mayor in turn, they were elected.
