For the first time since 2013, Holladay will have a new mayor. 

With Mayor Rob Dahle, currently serving in his third term, opting not to run for reelection, Holladay will elect a fifth mayor in its history this November. 

Three candidates filed to run for the mayoral seat in June: current District 3 Councilmember Paul Fotheringham, Zac Wilson and Daren A. Watts. Due to there being three candidates, a primary will be held in August to whittle the options down to two for the November general election. 

District 1 will see Ty Brewer step down after one term being elected in 2021. David Sundwall and Grant Jacob Bilstad will vie for Brewer’s departing seat. 

Brewer’s district covers the downtown area of Holladay, including City Hall and Holladay City Park. It goes west to Highland Drive and as far east as Wander Lane. North it reaches 4500 South, and little beyond on the west border, while south covers to Casto Lane and meanders along Big Cottonwood Creek to Cottonwood Lane.  

District 3 is Fotheringham’s current seat, which he will vacate to run for mayor. Natalie Bradley and Bailee Jones will contest for the seat. 

The most western portion of Holladay is covered by District 3 which includes places like Creekside Park,
Cottonwood Country Club, Bonneville Jr. High and the rece
ntly torn down Spring Lane Elementary. Its western edge runs down 1300 East to Van Winkle before continuing south until almost 6000 South. Highland Drive marks its east boundary and runs north to Murray Holladay Road. 

A map of each district can be found on the Holladay website. 

No incumbents running for these seats is a change from the 2021 elections when Dahle ran unopposed for his third term and Fotheringham also saw no challengers in District 3. Sabrina Petersen, having run unopposed in 2017, stepped down for the 2021 election that saw Brewer defeat his opponent to win the District 1 seat. λ
