Why We Endorse Jo-anne
Jo-Anne is fighting for public safety, affordable housing, and better core services.
My primary reason for running in the 2025 Edmonton Municipal Election remains the same as it did when I ran in 2017 and 2021—to give back to the City that has given me so much. We need to have a dedicated Council that considers the varying perspectives of our growing population.
