Longtime Edmonton city councillor Andrew Knack to run for mayor
Ward Nakota Isga Coun. Andrew Knack will run for mayor in this fall's municipal election after previously announcing he would not be running for city councillor. "Edmonton is a hard-working city, and it deserves a hard-working mayor so we can continue to build up as we grow exponentially," Knack said in a news release Thursday. Knack said in the news release he has submitted his nomination papers to the City of Edmonton to declare his candidacy. Knack has served on city council for 12 years and has spoken out against the inclusion of political parties in municipal elections in Alberta. He is currently the longest-serving member on Edmonton city council, first elected in 2013 for then-Ward 1 in the west end. "We've accomplished a lot. But we continue to face significant challenges," said Knack. "Many of us are worried about higher costs, and some don't feel as safe as they used to; others don't know when they will get access to some of the basic amenities that others in Edmonton have. "We also face a time where people don't always feel heard in a world that feels more divisive and chaotic than before." Knack is known for advocating for more accessible and affordable public transportation, and has pushed to expand the city's bike lanes and multi-use paths. He sat on the Accessibility Advisory Committee, City of Edmonton Youth Council and Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board. In September, Knack has said he did not want to pursue a mayoral run after opting not to for a fourth term as city councillor. Knack's official campaign launch for mayor is scheduled for June.
