## Resource

Shawn Roness is stepping into the mayoral race in Williston with a bold vision: fix the housing crisis before the city’s growth leaves residents behind. A veteran of the energy sector and the North Dakota National Guard, Roness brings decades of service and community roots to the table, seeing this run as a calling—not just a campaign. With elections just weeks away on June 9th, he’s up against Cory Swint, Mason White, and James Bervig, while outgoing Mayor Howard Klug pivots to run for commission. Roness wants Williston to be a place where every family—whether young professionals or seniors—can find affordable, welcoming housing that fits their life stage.
