My name is Landon Johnson. I am a husband, a new father, and a small-business HVAC owner who has called Ward 14 home for 12 years. I grew up in a working-class family deep in the conservative riding of Yokanawagan. I learned early that when something is broken, whether it is a furnace or trust at City Hall, you roll up your sleeves and fix it.

That mindset drove me to launch the Recall Gondek petition in early 2024. I watched thousands of Calgarians gather 72,271 signatures to show how deeply they care about their city.

Now I am running to give that passion a permanent seat at the council table. Residents tell me they want respect, straight answers, transparent budgets and jobs done right the first time. As the father of a newborn and the husband of a hard-working nurse, I feel the same squeeze every young family feels. Rising costs eat into savings for school, sports and a first home. When new parents create a budget, they focus on the essentials and cut the fluff. City Hall should budget the same way.
