Charlene Nelson has announced her campaign for mayor.
Nelson says as a long time resident, she feels it’s the perfect time to be able to try and help shape the future of the municipality.
“I’ve lived in Grande Prairie for 18 years, and I have watched it grow, and now it is time to take it to the next level and I want to be apart of it.”
Nelson says that mental health is very important in Grande Prairie, and that property taxes are getting to-high for her liking, and if she was elected mayor she would try and make the change.
“Trying to reduce property taxes and addressing mental health.”
Nelson talked about the kind of person she is, and why someone should vote for her.
“I’m accountable, hard worker, transparent”
The city election is set for October 20th.
