Three councilmembers vie for mayoral seat, Districts 3 and 4 also up for election this year

Riverton’s elected body will have new look come 2026.

With Mayor Trent Staggs not running for reelection and no incumbents running for the two district seats, that means each position will feature a different person after the election this fall.

Staggs announced in March he wouldn’t be running for reelection citing his belief in term limits and having delivered on his promises from 12 years as an elected official—four as councilmember, eight as mayor.

“I’ve placed my confidence in the Riverton voter these past 12 years, and you have generously responded by placing your confidence in me,” he wrote in a letter to Riverton residents he posted to social media.
