Responding to a question inquiring as to whether or not she was going to run again, Incumbent Mayor Johanna Mouton indicated, “I haven’t decided yet but will do so as we get closer to the filing window.”
Council Member Alex Plechash has also been considering a run for Mayor, “I will be running again this fall, but I haven’t yet figured out whether I will run for council or mayor.”
Council Member Jeff Parkhill repsonded, “I am still considering it but cannot commit until I have some personal plan figured out….hopefully that will be before July…so probably will be a last minute call. If I do it, I will be all in though. Thanks for asking and let me know what you hear on that front. Curious if Johanna is running again. I would be unlikely to run against her. She has done a great job!”
Council Member Cathy Iverson stated, “I am undecided at this time for both openings,” and “…It seems a little early.”
Council Member Molly MacDonald stated, “It’s difficult to say this far from the filing period.”
The filing time frame for those considering running is from July 30th, 2024 – August 13th, 2024 at 5pm according to City Manager Jeff Dahl.
