Incumbent Mayor Amarjeet Sohi is not seeking re-election. Among these, a recent poll shows Andrew Knack and Tim Cartmell as the leading contenders, followed by Michael Walters, Rahim Jaffer, and Omar Mohammad. The race is considered crowded with several candidates having a chance but no clear front- runner yet. Issues like taxes, safety, affordability, and downtown revitalization are key topics in the campaign.
