Marion's Randy Strnad will not run for re-election
MARION — After nearly a decade on the Marion City Council, incumbent Randy Strnad has announced his intent to step down.
Strnad stated at Thursday’s Marion City Council meeting that he does not intend to run for re-election. The business owner and longtime Marion resident did not provide a reason for his decision, but did express his gratitude for his time with the council.
“I’m very grateful for the time I’ve served so far,” said Strnad, who could not immediately be reached for comment on Friday. “It was a big decision for me to make, but I needed to get it out in the public.”
Strnad, 56, was first appointed to fill a vacancy on the City Council in 2016. He was then elected to his first four-year term in 2017 and reelected in 2021 by a slim, three-vote margin over challenger Dale Monroe.
