Meet Iqbal
“That mayor on my doorstep? Turns out I meant it.”
Straight from Iqbal
In his words.
Fourteen short videos, about forty-five seconds each. No talking points. Just him, saying what he actually thinks.
Start here
Who he is, and what the job can actually do.
What a Mayor Can Actually Do
“I'm going to do something most candidates won't: talk you out of expecting too much from me.”
How he'd govern
The principles he says he'll be held to.
Process Over Personality
“Process is what protects you. Trust comes from doing things the right way, out in the open.”
We're West St. Paul, Not Winnipeg
“We stay West St. Paul. To me, that part isn't up for debate.”
Here's What I'm Running On
“Grow on purpose, govern in the open, and keep what makes this place home.”
Grow Without Losing It
“Approving every project that crosses the desk isn't a growth strategy. It's the lack of one.”
The issues
Rinks, schools, childcare, transit. Pick the one that's yours.
No Rink of Our Own
“We've got the kids. What we don't have is a rink to put them in.”
Recreation for a Growing Municipality
“One real community space, instead of six errands in six directions.”
Good News, Then the Next Question
“Take the win. Then ask what comes after it.”
A Combined Grade 6/7 Class
“I don't know this from a report. I know it because it was my own kid, in that classroom.”
Amenities for Every Life Stage
“Nobody should have to leave West St. Paul to start a family, or to grow old in it.”
If You Don't Drive, You're Stuck
“I can't promise you a bus line. I can promise I won't stop asking for one.”
Your vote
What changes on October 28.
Time for Change
“A municipality that grew this fast simply can't be run like it's standing still.”
What Your Vote Actually Changes
“Your vote decides who's in the room when your rink, your kid's school and your streets get decided.”
Got a question he hasn’t answered?
Ask it. He’d rather hear what’s actually on your mind than guess at it.
