Williams served three terms in the Marsac Building’s highest office ending in early 2014 while Beerman is running for the mayor’s office for a second time after an unsuccessful bid four years ago. The two marched during the Miners Day parade on Monday, the traditional start of the campaign season in Park City. ANALYSIS JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Park City voters will have numerous questions during the political season, when the mayor’s office and two City Council seats are on the ballot. Why is there so much development, some will ask. Others will question why the traffic is so bad. But another question looms large over the campaign: is Dana Williams politically invincible? The mayoral contest of 2017 has clearly been the top of the ticket, literally and figuratively, since before any candidate could formalize a campaign. The firstterm incumbent, Jack Thomas, announced he would retire from politics in May, just before the window opened when candidates could file campaign paperwork at the Marsac Building. Three toptier politicians sought Park City’s highest office – Williams, Andy Beerman and Roger Armstrong. Williams served three terms as the mayor ending in early 2014, Beerman is a popular secondterm City Councilor and Armstrong is a prominent member of the Summit County Council. Williams was the first-place finisher in an August primary, winning nearly 44 percent of the vote. It was a trouncing as Williams bested the second-place finisher, Beerman, by more than 10 percentage points. In winning the primary by such a large margin, Williams showed he remains broadly popular nearly four years after he left office. Williams has been a high-profile figure in Park City for more than 20 years. He began his political rise in the 1990s as the leader of a development watchdog, winning fans at a time when Park City was amid an extraordinary era of growth. He won the mayor’s office in 2001, taking office just weeks before the start of the 2002 Winter Olympics. He was re-elected in 2005 and 2009 before opting against seeking re-election in 2013. In the 2001 campaign he dismissed Fred Jones, at the time a highly respected member of the City Council. He was unchallenged when he was re-elected in 2005.
