Candidate Davis for business, infrastructure and public works  

Candidate for mayor of Ronan Wendy Davis grew up in Washington as a "country girl" and raised her two sons and one daughter in Selah, Wash. She moved to Ronan in 2015 from Wisconsin. Now retired at 62, Davis, who has a master's in business administration, formerly worked as a downtown revitalization manager and as a financial advisor at Edward Jones. 

She’s also been very involved in community organizations, serving as president of the Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis, and Fraternal Order of Eagles and believes in volunteering. 

Davis would like to serve as Ronan’s mayor because it’s about making a difference in a community she loves. She thinks it’s a priority to sustain current businesses and bring in new ones. A significant challenge to Ronan is the budget; Davis wants to find new sources of income to support infrastructure, employees, streets, parks, and water. She also believes in transparency and an open-door policy in the city government. 

Candidate Corum for roads, affordable housing  

Ryan Corum is running for Mayor of Ronan, Montana. The 44-years-old has been married for 17 years. Together, they’re raising their five children, and Ryan currently work for his family’s business, The White Elephant, right here in Ronan. 

He said he’s had the honor of serving the Ronan community in several roles—first as Police Commissioner and currently as a volunteer firefighter for 12 years. Currently he is a Ronan City Councilman, completing his first four-year term. Over the years, he has built strong relationships with Ronan’s Public Works Department, the Ronan Police Department, and other local leaders, and he believes those connections are essential to effective leadership. 

As mayor, he wants to keep our city moving in a positive direction by focusing on practical solutions to real issues. One priority is our roads—some are in poor condition, and we need to identify the worst ones and create a plan to repair them. Another major challenge is affordable housing. Many people want to work and live here, but housing costs are forcing them to commute long distances. We need to work with housing developers, community groups, and government partners to make Ronan more livable for working families.  

Corum also believes in the importance of collaboration. By working together with tribal, county, and neighboring governments, we’ve already found ways to save money and solve shared problems; and he wants to continue strengthening those partnerships. Corum loves Ronan and has spent much of his life serving it, and he’s ready to continue that work as Ronan’s next mayor.
