Enegren The incumbent Mayor, running for a second term. Their filed ballot designation is "Mayor/Brewery Owner." Filed their candidacy July 14, 2026 and qualified July 24. **Strengths:** The incumbent Mayor, already serving a full term and running for reelection with no formal opposition remaining on the ballot. **Trade-offs:** No independent news coverage of their first term's record was found to weigh against their own official ballot designation. **Keep in mind:** Their mid-2026 campaign finance statement reports zero contributions, zero expenditures, and a zero cash balance for the period -- an unopposed, quiet, low-spend campaign rather than a contested one. ## Sources 1.
