Mayor Don Iveson will seek re-election in Edmonton's municipal election in 2017 along with nine other incumbent councillors.
"That's my intent," Iveson said in response to a tweet from Dave Cournoyer of daveberta.ca saying he will run again.
That's my intent, though it's too early to campaign. Indeed, the less we campaign, the longer we govern, the more of service #yegcc can be. https://t.co/sNofJBS34J
