I am a strong, tough leader who does not—and will not—play politics. As mayor, I will get the job done by building cooperation with City Councillors, with a tireless work ethic and no excuses. I am NOT the other guys!
My top priorities as Edmonton’s mayor will be fixing the broken areas of our city. Edmonton needs a decisive leader to tackle issues promptly and efficiently—without fail—while ensuring taxpayers’ limited dollars are spent responsibly.
The time is now, voters have a perfect opportunity to make a bold change and get our city back on track. With the a fiscally conservative mayor, Edmonton can become stronger, more successful and better city for all its citizens.
This current council's repeated big spending budget approvals have driven property taxes far too high, making home ownership even harder for Edmontonians.
This council has repeatedly overreached, taking on roles and responsibilities that belong to provincial or federal governments. Edmonton must stay in its lane!
It’s time to refocus on core municipal duties, prioritize responsible spending, and stick to our core responsibilities. This plan will keep taxes down.

Safety and security by far, is the top issue for Edmonton's citizens.
I will rebuild the trust between council and the Edmonton Police Commission.
Also, finding better ways for the city to enhance public safety with the Edmonton Police Service, Edmonton Transit & the Corporate Security Peace Officer Program.
Smarter renewal plans & making development much easier. Capital spending should focus solely on renewing existing infrastructure—no new multi-billion-dollar mega-projects. I will recharge the per-existing industrial zone plan for Horse Hill, work with developers to execute a plan so companies can build the unfinished Blatchford and repeal the horrible bylaw 20001.
Edmonton Fire Rescue Services (EFRS) is another top priority for Edmontonians. I will ensure the (EFRS) Fire Chief reports directly to City Council, enhancing transparency, accountability and communication.
Currently, the Fire Chief reports to City Administration.
Edmonton raining day fund, the Financial Stabilization Reserve (FSR) is a critical reserve that ensures Edmonton’s financial stability through unseen expenses.
The FSR is currently well below the minimum balance of $123.5 million. As mayor I will help protect our city’s future financial security.
More reliable, better, with faster snow and ice clearing is a must. Edmontonians deserve safe, passable roads and sidewalks year-round. I will ensure snow and ice control is efficient, timely, and properly funded to keep our city moving, no matter what the weather conditions are.
Sustainable solutions, while keeping the annual ongoing costs down.
As mayor I will work to guarantee that Edmonton’s Waste Management systems will be cost-effective, environmentally responsible, delivering reliable services while keeping monthly fees in check for property owners, residents and businesses.

Thanks for the question Melissa B.
I agree with Tim Cartmell; and I was there—Monday’s council meeting was an “absolute mess.” Tim’s attempt to modify the disastrous re-zoning Bylaw 20001 failed spectacularly. Now council goes on “vacation,” showing again that Tim is unable to get councillors onboard to work as a team.
Bylaw 20001 has turned into a “monster”—ask any neighbourhood resident. They’ll tell you that once new free-for-all, zero-clearance, no-extra-parking-needed, eight-door structures go up, they quickly destroy the quiet street you’ve known for decades.
As Edmonton’s next mayor, I will not work to modify this mess; I will kill Bylaw 20001. Slay the monster, as it were.
And every person on council who helped push for and voted yes on Bylaw 20001 in 2023 should be voted out of office. How’s that for blunt and straightforward? I am NOT the other guys.

I am NOT the other guys! But.....
On this Bill 50 issue, featured in a detailed story on Taproot Edmonton, I actually agree with Councillor and now Mayor candidate Andrew Knack.
Edmonton's Oct. 20, 2025 civic election campaign will serve as a window to the soul of how a candidate will govern over the city's 3.4 billion yearly budget and current and growing long-term debt of $4.37 billion—just over $3,670 per person. That staggering long-term debt number is just not talked about in public enough. Most voters don't even know.
A big spender on an election campaign, sets the stage to be a big tax and spending Mayor, just look at their record as a councillor.
Alberta's Bill 50, which builds on Bill 20 has introduced political parties at the civic level. A first for the province that has only ever seen independent candidates.
A candidate for mayor, like Tim Cartmell, for example, can now spend up to two million dollars on his campaign. And published in his year-end disclosure, Tim raised in just 60 days between Nov. 1, and Dec. 31, 2024 a record $450,000+ dollars!
Edmonton voters have to ask, why would someone want to raise and spend one to a whooping two million dollars for a base $216,585, plus vehicle allowance of $14,457.36 annually, and a $3,600 health care spending account per year?
Candidates can either buy an election or honestly earn the voter's confidence.
I prefer earning the trust and confidence of Edmontonians to manage their hard earned tax dollars for the next four years.
I am only beholden to Edmonton's voters, Edmonton's taxpayers, not to a party, group of people or individual big donor.

Simple answer. YES WE CAN!
Adding a simple number after Edmonton’s unique ward names is far more inclusive for all Edmontonians, Albertans, and Canadians who engage with our 12-ward city system.
Edmonton’s 12 ward names carry symbolic significance in our city’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, reflecting our province’s rich history through seven Indigenous languages. However, since their introduction in 2021, these names have caused on going confusion. Many residents and city staff struggle to read, pronounce or spell all 12 ward names, and most don’t even know which ward they live in. This leaving them feeling disconnected.”
Adding a number in brackets after each official ward name (e.g., Ward Nakota Isga [1]) would make them universally understood, including by children.
As Edmonton’s next mayor, I will reintroduce the adding of numbers (1) to (12), in brackets, alongside the names of our city’s wards to ensure clarity and exclusivity for all.
