I just noticed that there is a Succession Box in this article for the position of mayor of Westfield, New Jersey. The funny thing about this box is that both the predecessor and successor of Richard Bagger as mayor of Westfield are "blacklinked", i.e. they don't have articles and are not even redlinked. I looked at the article on Westfield itself and the name of the current mayor is neither bluelinked nor redlinked either. I'm guessing (subject to evidence to the contrary) that Bagger may very well be the only former mayor of Westfield to have a Wikipedia article. While, technically, being a former mayor of a town with 29,000 people in it probably does satisfy the notability requirements of WP:POLITICIAN (which Bagger more than satisfies due to his subsequent positions), nobody to date seems interested in creating these articles (which in my opinion is probably just as well. Chances are pretty good that if Bagger had remained mayor instead of being elected to the Assembly, and eventually becoming chief of staff to the Governor, he would not have an article either.) That being the case, do we really need a Succession Box that leads neither forward nor backward, and is not likely to lead anywhere for the foreseeable future?
