HUMBOLDT — Roger Nordick has announced he will be running for council again for at least one more term.
Nordick was first elected in 2012 and said he is proud of the work council has done since then. While the city has faced some program cut over the years in order to balance the yearly budget, Nordick said he wants to continue to speak up for Humboldt’s newcomers and seniors, including when it comes to maintaining tax rates.
“We know there’s always going to be tax increases but we need to still maintain them as low as possible.”
With many councillors unsure of whether they are stepping down from their council seats or running for another term, Nordick said that his plans to run again might ensure some continuity from one council to another for the city’s long term plans.
At the end of the day, Nordick said he wants to continue playing a role in local politics and he and the rest of the councillors are humbled to do so in Humboldt.
For anyone who is considering running for council, they need to be able to dedicate time to the process, he said.
“The work is far beyond what you see in a council meeting.”
Those considering putting their names on the ballot must prepare themselves and their family for the four-year commitment of being a city councillor.
Sandra Weyland has announced that she will not be running for re-election. Other members of council have not yet revealed their plans for the Nov. 9 election
