Des Moines City Councilmember Matt Mahoney will not seek re-election in 2025
After seven years of service, Des Moines City Councilmember Matt Mahoney announced this week that he will not seek re-election in 2025, citing a period of personal reflection and a desire to make room for new leadership.
Mahoney’s term in Position #7 expires Dec. 31, 2025. He was first elected to the council in 2018, and has served as Deputy Mayor, as well as Mayor from 2022–2024.
“This has been a difficult decision, but it is the right one for me,” Mahoney wrote in a statement.
Mahoney, who has served through what he described as “tough challenges like COVID, infrastructure improvements, leadership changes and super inflation,” expressed deep appreciation for his time on the council and the community support he received.
