Four candidates have filed to run for Whitefish City Council.
Incumbents Andy Feury and Pam Barberis have filed for re-election. Newcomers Melissa Hartman and Ryan Gregory Hennen have also filed for election.
There are three spots up for election on Council this year. Councilor Jen Frandsen is not seeking re-election.
Feury was appointed to Council in 1991 and was elected in 1993 serving four years and served as mayor from 2000 until resigning in 2007. Barberis was first elected to council in 2013.
Whitefish Municipal Judge Bradley Johnson is retiring at the end of his term this year. Three candidates for the judge position entered that race quickly when filing opened in April. Attorney Tom Tornow, Whitefish’s Deputy City Attorney Kristi Curtis and Attorney William Hileman all are running for the judge position.
