As this campaign ends, I keep thinking how my wife has been through more than most ever have to endure.
Through every storm, she’s been my light, a reminder that to love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

Yesterday, we asked supporters where surplus campaign funds should go and you chose the Emergency Women’s Shelter.
Earlier in the campaign Kathy, who rebuilt her life with FLEE funding, endorsed our work. Proud that ~$1,000 will help more families like hers. ❤️

Out on the campaign trail with my #1 volunteer: my mom. ❤️
She’s been by my side since my very first campaign, stuffing envelopes, knocking on doors, and cheering me on every step of the way.
I couldn’t do this without her support and love. Grateful every single day.

Ran into my old hockey buddy Diamond James Finney yesterday. We were AJHL champs together back in the day.
Those locker rooms and early morning practices built bonds I’ll always be grateful for.

Calgarians shouldn’t be priced out of their own city.
That’s why I’ll:
✅ Expand the Free Fare Zone
✅ Create an Inner-City Bus Loop for affordable mobility
✅ Jumpstart Co-op Housing so more people can afford a home
Let’s build a city that works and is affordable!

Kent was pleased to visit the Calgary Downtown Musalla, where Imam Qassem called on attendees to support Kent at the ballot box.
It was an honour to connect with over 300 people from the community.

Grateful for a great evening of door knocking with Chris, Garth, Robert, Martha, Judy, and Chloe.
As the sunlight fades earlier each day and winter creeps in, their energy and commitment keep the campaign warm and bright.
Couldn’t ask for a better team.

Had a great chat at the Builders Lunch with Rob Calver and Ken Cog Hill from the Bricklayers Union yesterday. I grew up at a union table, as both my parents were teachers.
Unions are sounding the alarm on black market labour and contracts that reward cutting corners.

Chair broke. Reclined itself. Now stargazing like a cowboy on the open plains. 🤠♿️
Stuff like this happens more often than you’d think: just part of the daily adventure with a disability.
It teaches you patience, perseverance, and how to find a bit of humor in the unexpected.

Loud vehicles are one of Ward 8’s top complaints. My 3-point plan:

Since I left the legislature as education critic in 2014 Alberta has decreased its inflation-adjusted per-student spending by over 17%, by far the worst record in Canada.
It’s like shopping at Walmart and arguing with the manager for a bigger discount.
