By Melody Land, Part-Time Coordinator, CAC
Fundy Albert is one of Connecting Albert County's primary support systems and we are pleased to put out this special edition to support the municipality's residents in the 2026 Municipal Elections!
Our mission at CAC is to build connections and foster pride of place and culture in our region. We share this mission with all of those who work diligently within this place in so many capacities: volunteers who tirelessly work together to offer wide range of services, entrepreneurs who keep their business local, the educators and healthcare workers who dedicate their lives to rural service, and the list of people continues. Stepping up and putting your name forward as a candidate to serve your community in public office also exemplifies that mission.
An elected public official holds important roles in our community. Municipal governments administer taxes and set budgets, provide direction and oversight for many of our local services, advocate for region provincially and federally, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The time commitment, stressors, research, and community engagement required is huge.
We aimed to provide a platform for all candidates so they can share themselves and provide the public information on an even playing field. We also want to provide our readership the information they need to exercise their democratic right to vote, reduce barriers to engaging in the electoral process, and make informed choices.
In the following pages you will find:
We encourage you to take the time to read about all candidates running and pay particularly close attention to those running in your ward!
We wish all candidates the very best, and thank them for their care of, and engagement in, our community. And to all residents of Albert County - get out there and vote!

In the following pages you will find:
- Advertisements submitted from candidates for mayor and council. These were paid for by the candidates.
- Information on how, where, and when to vote, and where to go for any questions you may have.
- Articles on each of the candidates. These articles are based on interviews conducted by the coordinator of connecting Albert County. CAC gathered and compiled questions from the community and best practice resources, submitted them to each candidate a minimum of the day before their interview, and did our best to hit the main points presented by each candidate in each article. If you would like to hear the full interviews, you can also listen to them on our podcast Connecting Albert County: the Audio Edit, streaming on all major podcasting platforms. You can also find them on our website!
