Are Great Falls City Election Candidates Really ‘Nonpartisan’?

E-City Beat recently received a couple of emails from readers basically asking the same question: How do we know which political party the candidates for Great Falls city commission and mayor belong to?

The answer is that the municipal election is officially nonpartisan so the candidates aren’t required to designate party affiliation.

But Great Falls is a small enough community that such things as political party identification and the political ideologies held by candidates and public figures are fairly obvious to anyone paying even a little bit of attention to public discourse and issues.

Plus, social media has exposed a lot more about local folks than what they had for dinner last night.

In that vein, we noticed a fairly recent Facebook post from local GOP state representative Jeremy Trebas.

That seems spot on.

If you use party affiliation as a guide to how you vote and there aren’t any D’s, R’s or I’s next to a name on your city ballot, you can’t go wrong following the Trebas analysis here.
