Christine Erickson has been sworn in as Sioux Falls’ 33rd mayor, becoming the first former City Council member to hold the office since the city adopted the strong-mayor system in the 1990s.
Experience and Partnership
Erickson, who spent eight years on the City Council, emphasized the importance of the partnership between the mayor and the City Council. She stated that her experience on the council shaped her view of how City Hall should function, particularly after decades of mayors driving policy from the executive office.
