Jeff Browaty will return to represent North Kildonan.
Browaty has already served 16 years on council, filling roles on numerous committees, including sitting in the mayor’s inner circle as a member of the executive policy committee. He is currently council’s finance chairman.
Browaty counts road maintenance as a top priority and has spoken out against imposing large tax increases. He suggests the city refocus its priorities on key municipal responsibilities; ideas he’s floated include not expanding recreational services and not spending city money on items that fall primarily under provincial jurisdiction, such as housing.
