It has been just over three years with Cody Schmidt serving as the Great Bend Mayor. The 2004 Great Bend High School graduate acknowledged that he has enjoyed the successes and challenges that have come with the position, but he is unsure if he’ll seek a third term in this upcoming fall election. Schmidt spends a lot of hours, outside of his fulltime job, as a volunteer for the city’s betterment, but he wouldn’t have any other way. “Since I’ve been mayor, I’ve always wanted to be involved in everything I can be,” said Schmidt. “I think that is what has separated myself from previous mayors is being involved, understanding and learning. I want to hear everything out of the horse’s mouth and not be a he said, she said type of situation.”
