Ada council fills vacancy before filing opens for four seats, mayor
Ada, MN council appointed Adam Sip to fill a vacancy, and filing for four council seats plus the mayor’s race runs July 14-28 at 5 p.m.
Ada council minutes show Adam Sip was appointed to fill an open seat and sworn in by Mayor John Hintz at the June 1 meeting in the city’s July 6 packet.
The same minutes say there are four open council seats and the mayor’s seat on the 2026 ballot, with filing set for July 14 through July 28 at 5:00 p.m. Minnesota’s Secretary of State says city candidates file an affidavit of candidacy and fee with the city clerk during the filing period, and cities without a primary file in that July window.
For Ada residents, the key point is that the vacancy has been filled, but the broader election window is just opening. Anyone considering a run should confirm paperwork and filing details with City Hall before the deadline.
