Mamula served his first term as mayor of Breckenridge starting in April 2016. As mayor, Mamula has led major town undertakings like the remodel of the Breckenridge Recreation Center and the building of the new water treatment plant.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/opinion-eric-mamula-mayoral-experience-will-pay-dividends\/\">guest commentary<\/a> published in the Summit Daily, Mamula said the town has begun to see through several projects with locals in mind but still has much left to accomplish. He listed the local housing crisis, child care accessibility and parking as issues facing the town that he plans to continue to address. He also listed commitment to sustainability as well as expanding open space and the town\u2019s trails system as priorities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in the middle of some great projects right now, including a parking structure and a water plant, and I would like to see those things through,\u201d Mamula said during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/breckenridge-town-council-candidate-forum-gives-voice-to-current-council-members-and-newcomers\/\">Breckenridge candidate forum<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/sdn-banner-paypal.jpg)\" class=\"col-xl-8 p-3 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/donate\/?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_campaign=donation&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=mid-article\">Donate<\/a><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After learning of the election results Tuesday night, Mamula said he was happy he and three council members were reelected so they can press forward with relief efforts related to the current COVID-19 virus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we just continue with where we\u2019ve been going with financial assistance with businesses and poising the town to help everyone work through the pandemic right now,\u201d Mamula said. \u201cI\u2019m really excited to have Dick and Jeffrey and Kelly back on council, and I\u2019m really excited to work with Dennis. \u2026 It\u2019s great to have the people that have been in the room through this whole thing, especially with what we\u2019re going through right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mamula ran against two other mayoral candidates, Nate \u201cDogggg\u201d Nadler and James Manella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nadler, who is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/hundreds-celebrate-ski-season-opening-weekend-at-keystone-a-basin\/\">local first chair legend<\/a>, ran on the platform of putting the workforce first. As a 22-year Summit County resident, Nadler currently works as a property manager and shuttle driver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/opinion-nate-dogggg-nadler-workforce-is-my-no-1-priority\/\">guest commentary<\/a>, Nadler listed his first priority as the \u201ctrue\u201d locals of the community who work many hours in order to survive and live the local lifestyle. He drew on his experience as a member of the local workforce, holding jobs as a dishwasher, chef, guest service agent and current shuttle driver.<\/p>\n<p>Manella is a Chicago Mercantile Exchange retiree who has spent the past 10 years as a full-time resident of Breckenridge. Manella\u2019s local civic involvement includes participating in Breckenridge Cleanup Days and as a Breckenridge Ski Resort guest services volunteer.<\/p>\n<p>In his campaign, Manella advocated to slow development, writing in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/opinion-james-manella-development-must-be-slowed-to-protect-town\/\">guest commentary<\/a> that he would aim to \u201cencourage a limit on construction projects\u201d and prioritize the safety and security of the town. He said one way to do this is by reducing the number of events at which alcohol is served and replacing them with events focused on culture and fitness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning of the mayoral race, Manella stated that he has a \u201cgreat deal of respect\u201d for Mamula.<\/p>\n<p>Mamula is scheduled to be sworn in as mayor at the Town Council meeting April 28.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/eric-mamula-reelected-as-breckenridge-mayor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breckenridge Mayor Eric Mamula, left, has been reelected.Courtesy Joe Kusumoto BRECKENRIDGE \u2014 Local business owner and 34-year Breckenridge resident Eric Mamula has been reelected as the mayor of Breckenridge.&nbsp; Mamula, who won with nearly 88% of the vote, campaigned for the title with emphasis on his decades of civic involvement, beginning in 1994 as a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-806165","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-16 22:23:40","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSMT The Mountain","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=806165"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":806175,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806165\/revisions\/806175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=806165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=806165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=806165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
