• Kevin Nehls and incumbent Roy Olson will be running for the three-year mayor's position. In Ward 2, Ron Belden and incumbent Eddy Opp will be contending for that two-year council position.
• In Ward 1, Michelle Muilenberg will be the new councilman as incumbent Brett Anderson did not take out a petition.
• In Ward 3, Mary Fliehs will be the new councilman as incumbent Doug Hamilton did not take out a petition. Muilenberg and Fliehs will join Clare Brotherton as half the council will be made up of women in this coming cycle.
• There will not be an election for school board this year, but there will be a new member. Incumbents Dorene Nelson and Lars Hanson turned in their petitions.
