Former MLA Len Isleifson has announced he will run as a candidate for mayor of Brandon in next year’s municipal election.
In a news release on Friday, he said his campaign will focus on three key pillars — enhancing public safety, promoting sustainable economic growth and improving access to community services.
He also said he is committed to “transparency, accountability and collaboration with all stakeholders.”
“I am excited to announce my candidacy for mayor of Brandon,” Isleifson said. “With my extensive experience in security, public administration and community leadership, I am confident in my ability to lead our city toward a brighter, more prosperous future.
“I look forward to engaging with residents, listening to their concerns, and working together to build a stronger, more inclusive community.”
Isleifson served two terms as Progressive Conservative MLA for Brandon East, from 2016 to 2023, when he was defeated by New Democrat Glen Simard.
Before entering provincial politics, he served as a Brandon city councillor, with duties including stints as deputy mayor and chair of the Brandon Police Board.
Isleifson currently works as the security manager at Assiniboine College and was previously regional manager of security services with Prairie Mountain Health.
