Meet Your Council Candidates: Qualifications & Priorities Straight from the Source

Story by Stacie Gaetz

Fall 2025

As Airdrie continues to grow and evolve, so too does the need for strong, community-focused leadership. With the upcoming municipal election on the horizon (October 20), we turned to you — our readers and fellow residents — to find out what matters most. Through social media, we gathered the top questions you wanted to ask your city council candidates.

Two themes stood out: experience and priorities.

We asked each candidate to answer these two key questions:

1. What is one specific personal or professional accomplishment that you believe qualifies you to represent Airdrie residents on Airdrie City Council or as mayor?

2. What are your top three priorities and why?

Their responses offer a glimpse into the values, goals, and lived experiences that they bring to the table. Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the community, these answers can help inform your vote and shape the future of Airdrie.

Note: Responses will be updated if and when candidates reply.
