Together, we have the chance to shape Ward 7 into a community that’s more connected, more caring, and more people-first than ever before. I’ll need your continued help to make that vision real, and I look forward to working alongside you in the months and years ahead.

Thanks to the efforts of an army of volunteers and supporters, this campaign is best positioned to defeat Terry Wong and deliver strong, independent progressive leadership for Ward 7.

I joined CJSW 90.9 FM’s 2025 Municipal Election Coverage to talk about what is at stake for Ward 7, from housing and mobility to how we can strengthen our neighbourhoods together. Listen to the full conversation and read my interview transcript.

Calgary’s arts, music and culture magazine Big Kitty invited me to write a few words about why I’m running in this year’s municipal election.

Over two decades, Druh Farrell was a principled and values-driven representative who helped shape Ward 7 into one of Calgary’s most vibrant, walkable, and people-centred areas in the city.

I look forward to carrying her legacy forward and to bringing strong, independent leadership back to Ward 7.

A first among Ward 7 campaigns, Myke Atkinson’s 12-page newspaper highlights progressive priorities and community voices from across Calgary.

My mentor, friend, and former boss Chad Saunders has been making Calgary a better place for decades. His dedication to lifting up the people that make this city great and helping to weave the fabric of community is truly inspiring.

Downtown is Calgary’s economic engine and cultural hub. When our core isn’t thriving, the whole city feels the impact. Office vacancies, missing amenities, and quiet streets have left the core struggling for a decade.

A downtown with housing, services, culture, and safe streets benefits the whole city. It strengthens Calgary’s economy, attracts investment, and broadens the tax base.

The outcome of this election now rests entirely in the hands of progressive-minded voters. Progressives must come together behind one candidate with the values, the momentum, and the campaign infrastructure to win.

Our people-powered campaign, with its progressive vision, experience and community-focused leadership, is best positioned to deliver a victory. Let’s make it happen!

The City of Calgary has a front-line role in, and unique perspective on, many of the factors impacting public safety today including mental health and well-being, housing and homelessness, racism, substance use and addictions.
