Council Results Are In

Sherwood Park / Strathcona County voters have spoken, and we have a new Council for the next four years!

Well, "new" might be a bit of a stretch...

Voters overwhelmingly opted for stability.

Mayor Rod Frank easily secured a third term with 15,753 votes (76.90%), defeating challenger Benjamin Biel, who received 4,732 votes (23.10%).

Council also saw every incumbent re-elected, with Mike Derbyshire in Ward 2 the only new face, replacing Dave Anderson, who chose not to run again.

Here are the full ward-by-ward results:

• Ward 1: Robert Parks - 63.67% (1,856 votes)

• Ward 2: Mike Derbyshire - 64.44% (2,334 votes)

• Ward 3: Lorne Harvey - 67.02% (2,437 votes)

• Ward 4: Bill Tonita - 67.39% (1,777 votes)

• Ward 5: Aaron Nelson - Acclaimed

• Ward 6: Corey-Ann Hartwick - 52.30% (978 votes)

• Ward 7: Glen Lawrence - 58.49% (951 votes)

• Ward 8: Katie Berghofer - 73.42% (2,174 votes)

Mayor Frank and the returning Council will now face the ongoing challenge of managing growth, maintaining infrastructure, and balancing rural and urban priorities across the county.
