The people of Winkler will have to make a choice in electing their next mayor.

Economic Development Officer Walter Siemens has announced his intention to seek the mayor's position.


He says one of the reasons for running is that the citizens of Winkler deserve a choice.


Siemens says the development of Winkler needs to be well rounded in things like the medical field, recreation, education, industrial, commercial and residential development.


He says all these things together make a city a city.


Siemens is running against councillor Dave Penner who announced his intentions to run in July.


They are the only two confirmed candidates so far.
