Mayor Jason Salamun joins Murdoc for a candid conversation following his announcement that he will not seek reelection as Rapid City mayor in 2027. Salamun explains the personal decision behind stepping away after six years on the City Council and four years as mayor, reflecting on Rapid City’s investments in public safety, parks, streets, the new sports complex and continued economic growth. He also looks ahead to what comes next for the city, offering advice to potential mayoral candidates on leadership, sacrifice, family, values and developing a clear vision for Rapid City. With nine months remaining in office, Salamun says he intends to “finish strong,” remain fully engaged through the end of his term and ultimately hand the city over to its next leader.
