Transparency is important to me. That’s why I promised to release my list of donors before election day.
I opted early on in this campaign to primarily self-fund the campaign to avoid being beholden to outside interest groups. To date, this campaign has cost less than $10,000 and once everything wraps up, I do not expect to exceed $10,000 in total campaign spending. As I have said repeatedly, I believe a dollar saved is a dollar earned, and money spent does not replace resident engagement.
That said, I am grateful to all of the donors who assisted me in this campaign. While this is the list up to October 16, 2021, the Municipal Government Act of Alberta does state that the 'campaign period' is between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 and additional funds may be received after the October 18, 2021 election date.
I will regularly update this list should additional funds be received during the campaign period.
The list below provides a list of our donations up until October 16.
