There is a crowded field running for Langford Council this year, with 14 candidates running for 6 positions.

There are seven days for people to withdraw after filing, so it will be interesting to see whether the field thins our or not. We may find there were candidates who put their name in, thinking no one else would (it’s been a quiet summer on the local election front), and seeing a crowded field might elect to bow out.

So far, only two candidates (Ryan Hinton last month, and now myself) appear to have issued a press release about their candidacy and given the public an idea of what they stand for. It is likely the others will in the coming days.
