If you live in Algoma’s 4th Aldermanic District and do not have time to gather the signatures needed to get on the ballot, there is another way to serve on the City Council.
During Monday’s meeting, Algoma Mayor Steve Lautenbach announced the resignation of District 4 Alder Dawn Kidd, effective Dec. 31, 2025. Kidd’s seat is not up for election until 2027, and the council opted not to place the position on the ballot for a special election. Instead, the council will appoint someone to serve the remainder of the two-year term, avoiding the need for the appointee to immediately return to the campaign trail next year.
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a letter of interest and resume to the city in person or via email by noon Jan. 30.
