Kamas council passes resolution cancelling mayoral race on Nov. ballot
Summary
The Kamas City Council approved a resolution removing the mayoral contest from the 2025 municipal general election ballot after county notification and review of state code compliance.
The Kamas City Council voted on Sept. 8 to adopt a resolution canceling the mayoral race in the 2025 municipal general election after county officials informed the city that the race could be removed from the ballot.
Council members said the county reached out and that the city attorney/staff had reviewed the matter; Councilmember Kim (staff) and Joel were noted as having been consulted. The council considered the resolution (identified in the meeting as resolution number 2025-08) and moved to adopt it before taking a recorded vote.
A roll-call style vote followed. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from Councilmembers David, Monica, Larry, Jessica and Leslie, and the chair declared the resolution adopted. Council members said the change would put the city in compliance with state code and remove the mayoral name from the ballot so voters do not cast votes for an unattested mayoral candidate. Council members clarified that the city would still hold elections for council seats, so county election-cost savings would be minimal.
The council's approval was a single formal action taken without extended debate; staff was identified as the point of contact for follow-up questions about county coordination and ballot administration.
