Martin Kidston(Missoula Current) The voters of Ward 1 will choose their next City Council representative this November rather than having council members appoint a replacement prior to the election. “We feel this is a good democratic way to get things done faster” said council member Amber Sherrill. The winner of the November election will be sworn in that month once canvassing is completed and begin serving Ward 1. The approach selected Wednesday expedites the time frame for the Ward 1 winner to join council as a voting member. “Laws can't predict every possible scenario,” said council member Stacie Anderson.
