Muhlfeld Files for Re-election

Whitefish, Mont. April 26, 2019 -- John Muhlfeld, currently serving his second term as Mayor of the City of Whitefish, has filed for re-election. Doug Reed, friend and owner of Whitefish Lake Restaurant, will serve as Campaign Treasurer and advisor.  

“It has been my pleasure, and a truly humbling opportunity, to serve as your Mayor for the past eight years. I will continue to provide a balanced and steady hand to guide our city in a way that prioritizes the small-town feel and provides for responsible economic growth and development that is in line with the values we share as a community. 

The next four years present many challenges, from the expiration of our tax increment finance district, to the reauthorization of the city’s resort tax, to the implementation of our affordable housing program. Equally important will be setting the city up for success by ensuring the long-term economic health of government operations and doing so while keeping taxes down.  Institutional knowledge and experience are critical, and I will continue to ensure everyone has a seat at the table when it comes to defining the future of Whitefish. With the support of our citizens and volunteers, I am confident that I can help Whitefish continue to be a community that first and foremost promotes quality of life, livability, job creation and opportunity, and family values for our residents.”

John was appointed in 2006 to serve a two-year vacancy position on City Council. He served six years as a city councilor, two of which were as Deputy Mayor, before running successfully for Mayor in 2011 and 2015.
