You’re invited to submit questions to help shape the discussion during a live Q&A session with Mike Schmitz, Mayor of Bismarck, and Jim Froelich, Mayor of Mandan, at the State of the Cities event on February 2, 2027.

The mayors will share insights on the successes, challenges and opportunities that have shaped our communities over the past year, as well as their vision for the year ahead.

Consider topics such as the local economy, workforce and talent development, business climate, infrastructure and transportation, housing, community development, taxes and public policy, or any other issue impacting our region. Your questions will help guide the conversation and ensure the topics most important to our community are discussed.

Please submit your questions by January 15, 2027, and help us create a meaningful and engaging discussion for our community.
