All four Kalispell City Council incumbents running for reelection on Nov. 7 retained their seats, according to unofficial results, though a county-level error that saw the wrong ballots sent to some Kalispell voters kept victory celebrations muted.
Kari Sue Gabriel, Sam Nunnally and Ryan Hunter outpaced their respective rivals in Kalispell City Council’s three competitive races. Gabriel topped challenger Wes Walker 482 to 399 to represent Ward 1, while Nunnally beat out Gabriel Dillon 529 to 421 in Ward 2. Hunter won out over Kevin Aurich 605 to 234 in Ward 3.
Sid Daoud, who represents Ward 4 on Council, ran unopposed. The only other seat up for election on the ballot was that of municipal judge. Alison Howard, appointed to the position by Council earlier this year, saw no challengers.
