MOUNTAIN VIEW COUNTY - Incumbent Mountain View council members have outlined their plans for the October 2025 municipal election, with several telling the Albertan they plan to seek re-election.
Deputy reeve Dwayne Fulton said he plans to run for another term in Division 1.
“I am planning on running for re-election in October,” he said. “The Acme Road project is slated to take a number of years to complete and I would like to see this project to completion. As well as the continued work on the Mountain View Seniors' Housing board. I am planning on submitting my nomination paper in February or March.”
Coun. Jennifer Lutz said she intends to seek a second term in Division 7.
“I plan to run for a second term,” she said. “As a new councillor I learned so much listening to constituents who share ideas on how county processes and operations could be done more efficiently. Creating change takes time and some tenacity.
“I hope to have the opportunity to further reduce red tape and continue to be an advocate for economic development, bringing new investment to the region. This is key as municipalities continue to see increased provincial downloading, with less funding.”
Coun. Greg Harris says he plans to seek a third term in Division 2.
He outlined some key things he’d like to address if he is re-elected in October.
“I want to address the fire risk that is going on in some of the west country,” he said. “We are doing selective logging in a half section in Water Valley right now and I would like to look at some of our other grazing leases.
“Number one would be to reduce the fire risk and number two would be to make more grazing. We are losing grazing land to some properties that are being bought up as recreational pieces. I want to try and maximize the grazing potential on (Mountain View County property).”
Coun. Tiffany Nixon, who won a byelection in Division 4 last year, says she plans to seek re-election.
If elected Nixon says her priorities would include “advocating for balanced growth that supports local businesses while maintaining the rural charm and protecting our agricultural lands” and “focusing on upgrading and maintaining roads, utilities, and essential services to meet the needs of residents and businesses." Another priority is “ensuring open communication and transparency between the council and the public, giving residents a stronger voice in decision-making.”
She said she would also “promote programs and initiatives that benefit families, recreational activities, and opportunities for youth development (and) protect the natural beauty and resources of Mountain View County through responsible land use and conservation efforts.”
Coun. Peggy Johnson says she has yet to decide whether to seek a third term in Division 6.
“I haven’t made the decision yet,” she said. “I need to have a conversation with my family and think about all the things that might happen in the new year.
“I will have conversations with my family and some of my neighbours and supporters and see what they think.”
Coun. Alan Miller, first elected in 2021, represents Division 3. He said he is still mulling over whether to run in October.
“At this time I can confirm that I have not made any decision yet on whether I will be letting my name stand for re-election in the fall municipal election cycle,” Miller said.
