Ward Two

KGVO news has learned that Ward 2 city councilor Harlan Wells will be resigning from office as of January 1 to take an administrative job with the State of Montana.

Ward Two's Harlan Wells' attempt to present a resolution to the city council's 'committee of the whole' fell flat, when it was brought to his attention that he had not attached the specific ballot language to his referendum.

Harlan Wells was by far and away the leading vote-getter in Tuesday's Missoula City Council Ward Two primary election.

Ballots for the Ward Two City Council Primary election are due no later than 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 15.

The question of whether or not there will be a primary in Ward Two of the Missoula City Council election is creating confusion that the county elections office will take before the city council to work out.

The July 2 deadline to file for election to the Missoula City Council passed at the close of business Thursday at the county elections office, and only one race has enough candidates to qualify for a primary.
