Campaign Roundup - Day 27

• We are in the last days of the election campaign! Election Day is Monday, October 20th. Polls will be open from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. You can find locations - as well as voter information - on the City’s website.
• Mayoral candidate Tim Cartmell is hosting a Virtual Town Hall on October 19th at 3:30 PM to discuss the challenges facing Edmonton and his plans to improve the city. Rahim Jaffer, also vying for the Mayor’s chair, posted a new campaign video urging Edmontonians to vote for real change. He highlighted the need to cut taxes, tackle crime, focus on the basics, and end the status quo that he says has failed the City for decades.
• Michael Walters took to Facebook to post several endorsements of those supporting his bid for Mayor. Endorsements include former Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan, former Mayor Stephen Mandel, and former Councillor Scott McKeen.
• Also continuing to campaign is Mayoral candidate Andrew Knack, who shared a message highlighting the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on seniors, families, and young residents. He says he envisions a Stronger Edmonton where affordability is a priority, with support for seniors, accessible childcare, fair housing for renters, affordable City services, and a strong, safe transit system.
