As of 2:00 a.m., preliminary reports show that the Great Falls Voters have soundly rejected the City’s safety levy, with over 60% of counted votes rejecting the Safety levy and only 45% of the electorate voting for the bond. Both the levy and bond were highly debated by supporters and opponents.

Cory Reeves is currently leading the pack of Mayoral Candidates with 5,739 votes. Casey Schreiner is behind him with 4,796, followed by Joe McKenny at 2,760. Newcomer Abby Brown garnered 905. Again, not all votes have been counted, and the election is no yet certified.

City Commissioner Rick Tryon looks to retain his seat, and Shannon Wilson appears to be edging Eric Hinebauch out in a race separated by only 75 votes. Mark Dunn will be the new Department B Municipal Judge. Steve Bolstad ran unopposed for Department A Municipal Judge.
