I know that this has been brought up in a few other threads, but figured that there should be a thread dedicated to the topic. Should be interesting race this year with Bronco not running again. A few candidates have declared thus far:
1. John Hughes: The guy campaigning to have the right to raise chickens in his backyard.
2. Jon Lord: Former Alderman and MLA.
3. Ric McIver: Dr. No, current alderman and current front-runner.
4. Joe Connelly: Current Alderman for ward 6.
5. Kent Hehr: (sort of official confirmation this morning). Sitting MLA for Calgary Buffalo.
I'm going to come right out and say that I support Kent Hehr 110%, just to put my bias out there front and center. Should be an interesting campaign though.
There are still a few others who have yet to officially declare but are expected to be declaring: Dianne Colley-Urquhart, Wayne Stewart and rumours still surround Naheed Nenshi as well.
Here is todays article from Rick Bell regarding Kent Hehr:
