Election 2024: St. Cloud City Election Results

ST. CLOUD (WJON News) -- St. Cloud's next mayor will be Jake Anderson. He defeated fellow city council member Mike Conway 14,021 votes to 12,886 votes, or 52 percent to 48 percent.

The three people elected to at-large city council seats are Tami Calhoun with 21 percent of the vote, Mark Johnson with 20 percent, and Scott Brodeen with 19 percent. Longtime incumbent George Hontos failed to win re-election at 17 percent.

So, all three at-large members of the council will be newcomers. Also, with Anderson moving into the mayor's role, the city council will have to appoint someone new to fill his seat.

The St. Cloud Question #1, a property tax increase to raise $43.5 million to build a new Fire Station 6 in the southern part of the city, passed overwhelmingly, 62 percent to 38 percent.
