City Employees Not Required to Resign to Run for Office
Helena city attorney John W. Mahan ruled that city employees may seek political office without resigning. The opinion, asked by Commissioner Amos M. Shellady, says the state act requiring resignations for public office holders does not apply to city employees with two year or shorter terms, nor to cities under the commission form. It notes possible council ordinances could bar candidacy, but current rules do not compel resignations for appointed or elected city officers.
