Offices to Be Elected
The 2026 Municipal Election will elect:

For information about candidates, electors are encouraged to contact candidates directly or visit their websites and social media channels, where available.
All-Candidates Meetings and candidate debates may be organized by individuals, community groups, media outlets, service clubs, businesses, or other organizations. Information about upcoming events may be available through the event organizers.
