The incumbent won in a two-horse race against Guiscela Perez Arellano.
As of press time, Cartmell held a sizeable lead.
Community engagement was a focal point of Cartmell’s re-election campaign. He said he wants to continue building on his success which includes caring for local parks, repairing roadways and installing a needed crosswalk in the community.
He said Edmonton’s new council will need to be quick to adjust as demands shift post-pandemic. Day-to-day life is bound to change and Cartmell isn’t sure what impacts COVID-19 will have on transit, recreation spaces or other activities, so he and council will have to be ready to problem-solve on the fly.
Heavy support for Cartmell comes four years after he won the seat by more than 4,300 votes to fill incumbent Bryan Anderson’s vacant seat.
