Helena mayor Wilmot Collins shares his life story

Although Wilmot Collins beat four-term incumbent Jim Smith to become Helena’s mayor last November, his story does not begin with the 2017 mayoral election.

His life story begins in Liberia, extends to Ghana and the Ivory Coast, and finally lands in the United States. It includes his struggles as a refugee, his first-hand knowledge of applying for and gaining U.S. citizenship, and also his decision to run for mayor in the town he calls home.

On Monday evening, Collins told a crowd, gathered at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Great Falls for an event hosted by Great Falls Rising, about his life experiences.
