An April election to fill four open positions on the Freeman City Council will not be necessary. With Friday, February 24 marking the deadline to file petitions, all current councilors whose terms expired turned in petitions and were unopposed.

When the “new” council convenes on May 2, Clifford “Lonnie” Tjaden will begin a new 2-year term in Ward 1 and Blaine Saarie will begin a new 2-year term in Ward 2.  Unopposed petitions filed in Ward 3 were by Elizabeth Waltner for a 2-year term  and Tabitha Schoenwald for the one-year term.

Charlie Gering and Steve “Charly” Waltner will continue with one year remaining in their current terms of office representing Wards 1 and 2, respectively.
