Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Wednesday, November 5, 2025.We’re waking up to the results of Bozeman’s municipal elections, where the city’s closely watched WARD initiative, designed to change how water supply is secured for new housing projects, was soundly defeated, with 71 percent voting no and just 29 percent voting yes. That means local developers won’t face new restrictions on using mitigation credits to meet water requirements, a decision that will have real impacts on housing developments across Bozeman. In the mayoral race, incumbent city commissioner Douglas Fischer surged ahead early and holds a commanding lead, while the commission race sees Emma Bode and Alison Sweeney out in front for the two available seats. Official results are still being finalized, so keep an eye for updates as the votes are tallied.Over in Belgrade, voters appear to have rejected both proposed school bonds that would have funded a new elementary school and gymnasium, sending district officials back to the drawing board as student enrollment continues to rise. These election outcomes will guide local education and development for years to come.On the economic front, Bozeman is set to host the Montana State University Agricultural Economics Conference this Friday at the Hilton Garden Inn, a key event during MSU’s annual Celebrate Ag Week.
