Election Results for Grand Traverse County
By Beth Milligan | Nov. 5, 2025
Traverse City Mayor Amy Shamroe will serve another term while three new faces will join the city commission following Tuesday’s election – including Laura Ness, Lance Boehmer, and Kenneth Funk. Voters also approved proposals to enshrine an ethics ordinance in the city’s charter and to spend up to $3 million over the next five years from the city’s Brown Bridge Trust Fund (BBTF) on park projects. Voters, however, rejected a proposal to use the BBTF as a city interfund loan source. In Fife Lake, meanwhile, all but one in a slate of millage proposals passed at the polls.
