Local attorney Tammi Fisher, in her first run for public office, defeated Kennedy handily with 63 percent of the vote. Fisher received 2,325 votes to Kennedy’s 1,363, with voter turnout at 31 percent. As of Tuesday night, some absentee ballots still needed to be counted, so official results were unavailable from the Flathead County Election Department, but it was not enough ballots to change the outcome of the mayoral race.
