My name is Landon Johnston—husband, new dad, and small-business HVAC owner who has called Ward 14 home for the past 12 years. Growing up in a working-class family taught me that when something’s broken—whether it’s a furnace or trust at City Hall—you roll up your sleeves and fix it. That mindset led me to launch the Recall Gondek petition in early 2024; and I watched thousands of ordinary Calgarians gather 72,271 signatures proving just how deeply Calgarians care about their city.

Now I’m 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 husband to a hard-working nurse, I feel the same squeeze every young family feels: rising costs eating 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.

Calgary is one of the greatest cities in the world, and with your support we can keep the dream alive—education, careers, affordable homes, safe green spaces—for every generation. I’m here to listen, to work, and to earn your trust!
