Edmonton Votes '25: Mayoral Candidate Andrew Knack

Description

Welcome to Municipal Affairs.

It’s July 2025 — which means we’re under three months away from municipal election day here in Alberta. Across the province, candidates are stepping forward with visions for stronger communities, smarter growth, and more responsive local government.

Today, we continue our coverage with a conversation that’s especially timely for Edmonton voters.

Joining us in this episode is Andrew Knack — a familiar name at City Hall, and now a candidate for mayor.

Andrew was first elected to Edmonton City Council in 2013, representing west-end residents in Ward 1, and later in Nakota Isga after the ward boundaries changed. Over the years, he’s built a reputation as a thoughtful, accessible councillor — known for listening closely, engaging honestly, and showing up in places where civic debate often gets overlooked. Yes, we’re talking about those long Facebook threads — and also, his consistently bold choices in eyewear.

Today, we sit down with Andrew to talk about why he’s stepping into the mayoral race, what he sees as the most pressing challenges facing Edmonton, and how he hopes to lead the city into its next chapter.

That conversation — coming up next.
