People may laugh at the Landon Johnson for winning but in a conversation the other day with 2 council members and associated staff (re-elected and stepping down) his ground game was extremely strong. It sounds like he reached out to a lot of political people and picked their brains on how to turn this into a winning campaign.
He is not my ward and I don't know anything about him but this has the civic version of Ruth Ellen Brosseau written all over it, the famous NDP bartender MP who ended up being an amazing NDP MP for her people. People laughed at her but was considered a great MP.
