The 1994 Sioux Falls mayoral election took place on December 6, 1994, following a primary on November 22, 1994. The election was the first to take place after voters adopted a mayor–council government on September 13, 1994, which scheduled a new mayoral election two months later. Incumbent Mayor Jack White declined to seek another term.[1]
Seven candidates ran to succeed White, including former State Representative Jack G. Rentschler, City Commissioner Gary W. Hanson, former Mayor Rick Knobe, and former City Commissioner Loila Hunking. Rentschler placed first in the primary with 32 percent of the vote, and Hanson placed second with 29 percent. In the general election, Hanson defeated Rentschler by a wide margin, winning with 56 percent of the vote.
