DR. RAJ PANNU
MLA, Edmonton Strathcona / Former leader, Alberta NDP
"I am extremely pleased that Don Iveson has chosen to run for Edmonton City Council in Ward 5.

"Over the past years, Don has done wonderful work for this community, both in his capacity as Advocacy Director with the University of Alberta Students' Union, and as vice-president of the Malmo Plains Community League. His tireless effort to bring the Universal Bus Pass to the University of Alberta clearly shows his dedication to public transit and environmental sustainability, while Malmo Plains residents can attest to his staunch defense and support of mature communities.

"The three principles of efficiency, environmental responsibility and vibrant communities, which Don has highlighted as the cornerstones of his campaign, are of particular importance at this point in the development of Edmonton. We are in need of progressive politicians like Don in order to properly and effectively face the challenges the current boom has brought forward.

"Undoubtedly Don's intelligence, dedication and community focus will make a terrific contribution to our city council. I am pleased to endorse Don for city council and urge voters in Ward 5 to strongly consider support for his campaign."
