More lumpia, jump shots and selfies along the way
After months of campaigning, door knocking, sign waving and the multitude of mayoral debates, Winnipegers overwhelming voted for Brian Bowman as the next mayor of Winnipeg. As the polls closed on election night, Bowman campaign volunteers slowly made their way to Election Headquarters at The Inn at The Forks and waited patiently as poll results started to roll in. While the campaign was fun, mayor-elect Brian Bowman addressed the jam packed room to thank candidates, volunteers and supporters and reaffirm his commitment to moving Winnipeg forward with a bold vision for the city and positive changes to city hall.
Winnipegers also voted in seven new city councillors and re-elected Mike Pagtakhan in Point Douglas. New councillors include Scott Gillingham, Marty Morantz, Shawn Dobson, Cindy Gilroy, Jason Schreyer, Janice Lukes and Matt Allard. Returning to city council are Jeff Browaty, Ross Eadie, Jenny Gerbasi, Brian Mayes John Orlikow, Mike Pagtakhan, Devi Sharma and Russ Wyatt.
