Down to the Wire: Pocatello Mayor Run-off Election is Tuesday

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) — After months of anticipation, Tuesday is the run-off election for the mayor's race in Pocatello. The November general election determined that the race would advance to a run-off between Greg Cates and Mark Dahlquist.

Local News 8 caught up with both of them Monday to find out what they want voters to know before the big day.

"I would say what I bring to the table is experience," said Mark Dahquist. "My campaign slogan all along has been experience for a change. I've been a manager. I've been a CEO. I've been in leadership positions for more than three decades. Taking over at City Hall, it's a big responsibility."

Greg Cates shared his final thoughts for voters. "I just want people to know I'm really the only candidate with a clear, actionable plan to lower taxes, you know, to strengthen our economy, to bring better-paying jobs here, reform our police department, and clean up the city, so if you want change, people need to, you know, just got to vote for it."
