I will have a closer look at Schmidt
Any thoughts about Gary Bobrovitz? He finished 2nd to Walcott in 2021

Gary seems to be a bit of a civic populist. This is his policy from his website:
Boost Public Safety.
-Start cop foot patrols in Ward 8
-Create police hub station on 17 ave Red Mile district
-Hire more officers for Inner City
Repeal Blanket Zoning.
- Amend LAP to build sensible density + affordable homes
- Urban development must be supported by Communities
Freeze Calgary Taxes
- Prioritize Fiscal Restraint
- Get Value when spending Taxpayer Dollars
Improve Communications.
- Monthly Update meetings with Community Associations.
- Call me to discuss ANY ISSUE
Help vulnerable Calgarians. Tackle addiction-homelessness-social disorder.
Support Ward 8 businesses and fight the Trump Tariffs.
Create more parks for families.
His claim to fame is that he was a milquetoast TV reporter and apparently a world-class power lifter. He says he is a centrist and wants to be a guy that brings council together, but his positions don't seem to indicate that. Some of these seem okay but he lost me with the rezoning and tax freeze.
I think I've locked in on Schmidt at this point.
