The ballot for Mayor of Dauphin has its first name as Kerri Riehl recently announced she's handed in her registration paperwork. Riehl was formerly a city councilor, and along with a career in law enforcement, she knows she'll be prepared for the role if she wins.
"I believe in people before politics, it means that by listening and engaging the community, I believe that together we can remove obstacles to give our citizens the tools to work and live to their greatest potential in our city."
Riehl said she didn't like the direction council was going, but ultimately, personal reasons were why she decided to step down from her position in the fall.
"I was there to serve the people who elected me, and at the time it was not my way of governing and was something that I found very difficult to be a part of."
Riehl also talked about the importance of integrity and making sure that the process of the municipal act is followed with impartiality.
