Election 2025: Campaign Roundup - Day 22

Welcome to Day 22 of our Edmonton 2025 Campaign Roundup!

With the 2025 municipal election underway, we'll be bringing you daily updates on all the policy proclamations, platform promises, and political point-scoring from the campaign trail.

As always, our work is entirely funded by donations from residents just like you, so if you appreciate the updates, please consider making a one-off donation or signing up as a supporter for just $10 a month - that's just 36 cents per email!

Campaign Roundup - Day 22:

• Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for you - the readers who make our work possible. Your engagement, feedback, and encouragement help us keep pushing for common sense and accountability in our communities. We hope you enjoy a warm and restful holiday surrounded by family, friends, and plenty of good food.
  
  
• Mayoral candidates also shared their messages of thanks. Andrew Knack thanked his volunteers, supporters, and family, Rahim Jaffer shared a video message, and Michael Walters wished a Happy Thanksgiving to his supporters and their families too.
  
  
• A new analysis of City Council’s voting records shows that most Councillors voted together the majority of the time over the past four years, with only Karen Principe and Jennifer Rice frequently breaking from the group. Mayor Amarjeet Sohi aligned most closely with Councillors Keren Tang and Jo-Anne Wright and led in overall vote success, while Principe and Rice often opposed the majority. Mayoral candidates Tim Cartmell and Andrew Knack voted together 72% of the time and about 75% with Sohi. Nine incumbents are seeking re-election.
  
  
• 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.
