Stewart: ‘I really feel like I’ve got a job unfinished and COVID really put a dent in it’ Kennedy Stewart wants a second term as mayor of Vancouver. He’s been talking about this for almost four years.
Like many mayors before him, Stewart’s reasoning is simple but predictable: he wants to finish what he started. Driving his ambition is the relationships he formed with the provincial and federal governments that he says are strong and have led to him securing more than $1 billion in grants and loans for housing in Vancouver. “If I have a whole team [with me at city hall], rather than spending hours and hours in council and sorting out points of order, I think I can cement those relationships even more and get even more investment here in the city,” he said from his office at city hall Sept. 8.
