I am incredibly grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me to continue this work. Your support has allowed me to undertake the privilege of a lifetime. That of leading our city forward.

I ran for re-election because I am deeply committed to fostering a responsive local government that enhances public service, addresses the rising costs of living, strengthens our economy, and improves housing affordability and choices for all.

I am excited to continue to serve as your Mayor and get right to work with City Council to meet the challenges ahead and foster a city that is prospering, accessible, and inclusive for all.

Missoula’s future depends on thoughtful growth. Growth that makes housing attainable and enhances daily life for everyone in our community. In 2026, we will boldly implement community-informed land use policies and new zoning regulations that will expand housing choices while leveraging tools designed to strengthen neighborhoods through economic development and infrastructure investments.

Simultaneously, we are dedicated to investing in safer streets, connected trails, modernized utilities, and sustainable facilities. Together, we are building a healthier, more affordable, and more vibrant Missoula. Not just for today, but for generations to come.

Part of my job as Mayor is to honor the needs of all Missoulians, present and future. I am committed to preserving what makes our community unique by supporting the arts, culture, and the health of both our people and our planet. Even when facing challenges, we must keep moving forward. This means reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, cutting landfill waste, and protecting our air and water quality, because the future of Missoula depends on our collective efforts today.

By using a Cost of Living Lens in our decision-making, we are prioritizing affordability, impact, and the specific needs of our community. The unanimously approved 2026 City budget reflects our commitment to fiscal discipline and strategic investment in our city. You have my unwavering commitment to ensure intentional and efficient spending, protecting essential services and fostering innovation to deliver the high-quality services that every Missoulian deserves.

The momentum we have built is essential for continuing to lead Missoula toward a brighter future. We can build a community where everyone feels connected and has the opportunities they need to succeed. I promise to continue our vital work for Missoula. Together, let's continue to create a city we are all proud to call home.

— Andrea Davis, Mayor of Missoula
