Continuing her trend from 2022, Marathon councilwoman Robyn Still became the first candidate to file for the 2025 city council race last week, turning in her candidate materials to the Supervisor of Elections office on May 30.
“I am running for re-election so I can continue to represent everyday working residents of our city,” she told the Weekly. “I am a small business owner, a parent and an involved community member. I feel that I am able to represent all of our residents respectfully and fairly.”
Still touted her support during her first term for software that aided in holding vacation rental properties accountable for code violations. She cited an upcoming skate park rebuild at Marathon Community Park and stormwater drainage project on Sombrero Boulevard as initiatives she’s eager to see through to completion on a timely schedule.
Still’s three years on the council began in January 2022, when she was appointed to fill recently-resigned councilman Trevor Wofsey’s post. She officially filed for the 2022 race two months later, securing the second-highest vote total from a field of nine candidates with 1,603 (15.62%) that November. She served as Marathon mayor from late 2023 to late 2024.
The Marathon City Council could see up to three new faces this fall, as seats held by Still, Vice Mayor Jeff Smith and Mayor Lynn Landry are all up for re-election. Councilman Kenny Matlock, also elected in 2022 to a shortened term, was re-elected in 2024 along with councilwoman Lynny Del Gaizo. At press time, Smith and Landry had yet to officially announce re-election campaigns.
The qualifying week for city council candidates in the 2025 election runs from Aug. 5 to 12, according to Supervisor of Elections Sherri Hodies’ website, with the election taking place on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
