In city elections, generally two council members and the mayor are up for election.
Presently holding the seats that will be up for election in November are:

City of Heron Lake: Mayor Dan Shumway (two year term) and Council members Glenn Kuhnau and John Hay (four year terms)

City of Round Lake: Mayor Keith Stubbe and Council members Doug Knuth and Dennis Bucholz (four year terms). Stubbe is not filing for re-election to the mayoral seat, as he is running for a Nobles County Commissioner seat.
School Board members will also be elected for terms of four years each. Positions will be elected at each of the area school districts, Brewster, Round Lake and Southwest Star Concept.
To become a candidate, a small filing fee must be paid and an affidavit of candidacy must be filed.
Affidavits of candidacy for these offices may be filed with the City Clerk at local City Halls between Tuesday, July 31 through Tuesday, August 14, during regular office hours.
For school board elections, file at the respective school district office.
In addition, the commissioners seats in area counties have been redrawn, causing the need for many elections on the county level.
Be part of your communities by serving in an elected position. Filings will open Tuesday and remain open until August 14. |
