Former Mayor Mahoney Joins Public Health Team | Fargo News

Fargo’s former mayor, Tim Mahoney, is returning to public service—this time as the city’s new health officer. With 50 years as a surgeon and a decade leading Fargo, he’s stepping into a five-year role focused on tackling rising mental health crises, addiction, and falling vaccine rates. His appointment, set for September 1st if approved by the City Commission, comes after three other doctors applied—with one withdrawing—and follows Dr. Jessie Lindemann’s brief tenure. At $38,400 annually, Mahoney brings unmatched medical and policy experience to enforce public health laws and guide essential services, marking a rare and timely pivot from mayor to frontline public health leader.
