Meet the 2025 Livingston City Commission Candidates

Election season is here! Ballots were mailed off yesterday, and Election Day, November 4th is just around the corner. Voting is one of the most important actions we can take to shape our community’s future and keep our democracy strong. Our community is known for being active and engaged; let's continue that tradition this November.

To help provide perspective and allow for individuals to reach an informed decision on election day, PCEC sent a questionnaire to all seven candidates registered for the three open City Commission seats. Responses below are presented, unedited, in the order in which they were received: Patricia Grabow, Joshua Congleton, Rebecca Bird, Jessica Wilcox, Cindy Daniels and Kemp O’Neill. Quentin Schwartz and Max Johansen did not provide a response. Max Johansen has withdrawn his candidacy, although you will see him on the ballot.

How we got here: Proposed $15 million levy for PFL Way rail crossing

Today, the city is currently undergoing a growth policy update, paid for by a mixture of public funds and private funds. This year, more than 1,000 residents have engaged in the process. Early results show that people do not want the kind of residential sprawl projected in the traffic study. A draft of the policy is expected any day now, and it will likely be finalized in the coming months.

In the meantime, the city has continued to move forward with the railroad crossing at PFL Way.
