Mayor Joe Maas


Joe first came to Manning in 2008 when he was hired as a Police Officer.  When he moved away in 2011, he continued to keep friendships in Manning and thought about coming back often.  In 2014, the opportunity arouse to come back to Manning to work for the Police force again.  He later took a position a Puck Enterprises, but wanted to stay involved with the City.  He got voted on to City Council in 2018 and took on the Mayor position in 2020.  In his free time he enjoys spending time with his wife, Melissa and their two boys.
