Mike Doenges

Mike Doenges served as Mayor of Rutland City, winning his first term in 2023 by unseating three-term mayor David Alliare, then winning reelection in 2024 with 56% of the vote. During his tenure, he focused on housing development through the "Roofs Over Rutland" program, overseeing $8 million in housing investment and 250 new permits, and shepherded the approval of a Tax Increment Financing District for downtown infrastructure improvements. In January 2026, Doenges announced his resignation midway through his second term, citing a "once-in-a-decade" opportunity to return to the technology sales sector, with his last day in office being February 27, 2026.
