New Hampton Mayor Hopes Someone Will Step for City Council PostsAt present, two positions on the New Hampton City Council are lacking for candidates come this November’s election. Last Thursday (09.18) was the deadline for candidates to file to run for office. New Hampton council seats up for election on November 4th include those held by Kalista Porath and Mindy Humpal, but neither filed to run for re-election. One councilwoman who has filed to run in November is Kerstin Schwickerath, who was appointed to the council in February after the resignation of Katie Fisher. Since the filing deadline for candidacy papers has passed, anyone seeking office will have to mount a write-in campaign.
