Gehrig asks to expand City Commission, create wards 9:40 pm, Jul. 12, 2021 × Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney speaks during a COVID-19 briefing Nov. 18, 2020, in City Hall. Michael Vosburg / Forum Photo Editor FARGO — Mayor Tim Mahoney would like to run for mayor again next June, but the issue hasn't been settled yet. He brought his own lawyer to the Monday, July 12, City Commission meeting to help plead his case. Mahoney took his post following a special election in 2015 after the death of former Mayor Dennis Walaker in the midst of his term in 2014. Prior to that, he was a city commissioner. City Attorney Erik Johnson has written a memo that he believed the mayor was not eligible to run again, stating Mahoney had hit his term limit.
