Run for City Council - Have you ever thought about serving your community or having a voice in local decisions? This November, voters will elect three City Council members. The seats are currently held by Council Members Dava Gaschler, Devin Henderson, and Jolene Niernberger.
Serving on the City Council is a meaningful way to influence local policies, address important issues, and represent your neighbors. Council members help guide decisions on budgets, infrastructure, public services, and community development.
If you’re passionate about improving your town and ready to take on a leadership role, consider running in the next election. Public service is a rewarding way to give back and make a lasting impact.
