KFRU Business Spotlight -- April 4th & 5th, 2026. The candidates for the 5th Ward City Council seat in the April 7th Municipal Election join us for a last weekend before the election day conversation. Christina Hartman is the challenger in the race and talks about her reason to get involved through the council, along with the things she believes are most important for the council to work on in the coming years. She believes she can get off to a quick start making changes. Don Waterman is the incumbent in the race as his three year first term comes to an end. Don tells us there is work still to do on many fronts and outlines what coming up for the city council. Don says that the learning curve is long, so his time as a city councilman is an advantage to the city if he's re-elected.
