Davenport Iowa Governmental Structure

The city of Davenport, Iowa has a strong City Administrator/Weak Mayor form of government. She has eight aldermen and two aldermen-at-large. The eight aldermen represent each of the eight wards in the city while the at-large positions represent the entire city. Each aldermen have one vote and the Mayor only votes to break a tie. Their has been talk recently of possibly changing the structure to one with a Strong Mayor. The elections this fall, on November 6, may shed some light as to how the citizens would like to see the future directed. The applications for the elected posts are being taken out at a fast pace. Stay tuned and I'll keep you posted!

Carol,

I have been asked numerous times to run for Alderman, Mayor, Scott County Supervisor, and State Legislature and have declined each time without reservations! My wife, Laura, has said that I may have her permission to run for office when we're divorced or she's dead. Neither one of us wants that public of a life. Besides, I can't tell someone what they want to hear, all I can do is tell the truth!

Thanks,

Lucky :)
