"I believe that together we can face our challenges, and continue moving Helena forward..."
Helena City Commissioner Andy Shirtliff announced in a letter to the editor submission Wednesday he will seek to fill the remainder of the term he was appointed to in November's election.
"I believe that together we can face our challenges, and continue moving Helena forward; that is why I am running for City Commission to fulfill the remainder of Eric Feaver’s two-year term," Shirtliff's letter states.
He was appointed to the seat on the governing body following the death of City Commissioner Eric Fever, who at age 77 died of natural causes in June.
"In this short time, we’ve invested in sustainable growth by approving over a thousand units of much-needed housing.
"Additionally, we’ve stabilized our city government, passed a balanced budget, hired a well-qualified permanent city manager, and approved new department heads, along with new Police and Fire chiefs," he said in the letter, which is awaiting publication."
"And Helena, we're just getting started."
