Regional Candidate Endorsements

October 6, 2025

We have received a lot of feedback from affiliates, delegates and supporters asking when we will be releasing our endorsements for cities in the capital region. As we continue to grow our presence outside of Edmonton we are proud to announce the following list of endorsed candidates in our neighbouring communities!

We are asking all delegates and members of the public who want to build our region while offering respectful and thoughtful government to volunteer and vote for the following candidates where they live. Community involvement starts at home and we know so many of you work tirelessly to make our communities the best that we can.
