Kalispell City Council member Sid Daoud joins Taylor Inman of the Daily Inter Lake for a one-on-one interview ahead of the 2025 mayoral election. 

In this in-depth conversation, Daoud discusses his vision for Main Street revitalization, improving public safety and infrastructure, addressing affordable housing, and strengthening community-led solutions over government control.

He shares personal stories from his time on the council, his military service, and why he believes the role of mayor is about one thing above all: listening to the people of Kalispell.
