KINGMAN – Kingman Mayor Jen Miles is unopposed for re-election. No one but Miles submitted nominating petitions to attempt to qualify their candidacy for Mayor by Monday’s filing deadline.
More than a dozen residents who picked up campaign packets to possibly run for Mayor or Council seats did not submit nominating petitions, dramatically reducing what could have been a large field of candidates.
Jamie Scott Stehly turned in petitions in pursuit of re-election to her council seat. Others seeking three council seats up for grabs in August and November primary and general elections are Keith Walker, Cherish Sammeli, Bill Franzen and Sarah Ferry.
Incumbent Council members David Wayt and Travis Lingenfelter are not seeking re-election. Their terms of office expire in early December.
Kingman voters will decide two propositions during the August 4 primary election. Proposition 416 is the permanent base budget adjustment proposal while Proposition 417 involves increasing from two to four the number of years in the term of office for Mayor.
