The players
Holly Schrupp
Holly Schrupp is the mayor of Delano, Minnesota, who won a second term in the 2026 election.
Jason Franzen
Jason Franzen is a Delano city council member who lost the 2026 mayoral race and whose term expires at the end of 2026.
The details
Schrupp and Franzen were the two candidates for mayor, and Schaust and Bosma were elected to the council seats. The Delano School Board also saw Ryan Schaust, Rachel Depa and Sarah Baker reelected, with Jason Spry elected to the board. The results reflect all precincts reporting and come from unofficial Minnesota Secretary of State figures.
Timeline
November 3, 2026: Minnesota general election votes were counted.
January 2027: Schrupp, Schaust, Bosma and the newly elected school board members take office.
December 31, 2026: Franzen's council term expires.
Political Context
Results are reported as unofficial until the state's canvass process certifies them. The election sits within a statewide cycle that also decided the Wright County sheriff race and a Minnesota constitutional amendment on the Permanent School Fund.
Delano residents will see the same mayor and one of the same council members for another term starting in January 2027. A new council member, Katie Bosma, will also join the body and begin shaping city decisions at that time.
The takeaway
Local election results become official only after certification, so readers should watch for the final tallies before treating these margins as settled. The outcome also means continuity on the Delano council alongside one new member.
What happens next
Schrupp and Schaust will be sworn in for their second terms in January 2027, and Bosma will begin her council term at the same time. Franzen's council term expires at the end of 2026.
