Parkites will elect two city councilmembers this year.
Eight candidates are running for the two Park City Council seats. An Aug. 12 primary will determine which four candidates will be on the ballot for the Nov. 4 municipal election.
At the forum, candidates answered questions about Park City’s major challenges from traffic and housing to the Sundance Film Festival’s departure and the 2034 Olympic Games.
Audience members, present and online, also asked questions directly to the candidates.
Primary ballots were mailed to voters July 22, the same day as the candidate forum.
Parkites will also elect a mayor this year, but a primary is not needed for the mayoral race, as there are only two candidates:
- Ryan Dickey, Park City councilmember
- Jack Rubin, Park Meadows resident
KPCW and The Park Record will host another forum in October with the final two mayoral and four council candidates on the ballot ahead of Election Day Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025.
