  • Councilman Dan Hurt and Derek Grier, a former councilman and state representative, are both running to replace Chesterfield Mayor Bob Nation in April.

Chesterfield's Mayor Bob Nation is stepping down after 12 years in office, with his term concluding in April. Two candidates, Mike Geisel and Brad Arnold, are competing to replace him. Nation, who has been mayor since 2012, decided not to seek re-election to focus on family and other interests. During his tenure, he navigated the city through significant growth and development, including the controversial annexation of the Spirit Valley area. Mike Geisel, a former city council member and current Ward 2 alderman, emphasizes his experience and commitment to maintaining Chesterfield's quality of life. Brad Arnold, a local business owner and community volunteer, focuses on his outsider perspective and plans to address issues like traffic and development with a fresh approach. The election will determine the future direction of Chesterfield's governance and development policies.
