familiar faces.

The October 15, 2007 Edmonton Municipal Election will include some familiar faces. Because of the difficulty of defeating incumbents in Edmonton City politics, many Council candidates run a number of times before being elected (this includes current City Councillors Dave Thiele, Jane Batty, and Mike Nickel).

Here is a list of candidates who are hoping that the second, third, fourth, or fifth time is a charm...

  1. Funniest item in Dave Dowling's website: calling two other candidates "fringe candidates". This from a guy who ran for the Marijuana Party.

  2. Hana Razga's website is impressive. I don't know much about her but her site has definitely got me wanting to know more.

    I had been planning to support Lewis Cardinal and Ben Henderson, but I think I will stop supporting Ben in favour of Hana. City council needs more social justice advocates.
