RE-ELECT
A comprehensive vision, practical solutions, and unmatched municipal experience.
I believe in our city and have never sat on the sidelines. Long before I was elected, I was working to make Edmonton the best place to raise a family, start a business, and build a future. That commitment and passion continues today.
It has been an honour to serve as your City Councillor over the past four years. In that time, our city has weathered unprecedented challenges - a global pandemic, economic disruption, and record population growth. Now is the time for experienced, forward-thinking leadership with a clear vision for a city that is safe, affordable, and full of opportunity for everyone.
With a master’s degree in urban planning and over a decade of municipal experience, I am ready to keep moving Edmonton forward towards a stronger, more sustainable future.
I am proud to be your independent, community voice to protect City Hall from party politics, and I remain committed to building an Edmonton where everyday people can build extraordinary lives.
What We Have
Accomplished Together
Over the last four years, I have been working to deliver for the residents of Ward Métis and all Edmontonians.
When I first ran for City Council, I laid out a clear platform based on the values and priorities we share. Here are some highlights from my term of policies passed, projects advanced, investments made, and commitments kept.
Not every challenge has been solved, and there’s still a lot of work ahead, but I believe you deserve to see the progress we have made so you can make the most informed decision possible.

Ward Métis
It has been an honour to serve the residents of Ward Métis, and the rest of Edmonton.
Ward Métis is made up of 30 communities in east-central Edmonton. It straddles both sides of the North Saskatchewan River and is home to over 85,000 Edmontonians.
Local Government Matters
With the provincial government forcing political parties into municipal elections, it's more important than ever to elect strong, independent representatives who will put our city and communities first.
The provincial government’s new rules for municipal elections are in effect this upcoming election. They create unfair advantages for party-aligned candidates, reduce transparency, and undermine the accountability Edmontonians deserve. This isn't what Albertan's asked for.
That’s why I’m running as a strong, independent voice for Ward Métis. Party politics does not belong at the local level, and we do not need to introduce it now.
Our city needs leaders focused on our community’s needs, free from partisan ties, especially to a provincial government that has underfunded Edmonton and downloaded costs onto local taxpayers. We need leadership rooted in local autonomy and genuine accountability to our residents, not party bosses.
Meet Ashley Salvador
Ashley is a doer and has never sat on the sidelines. As a non-profit founder with a masters degree in urban planning and over a decade of municipal experience, she has led work on economic development, affordable housing, infrastructure renewal, and more.
Prior to being elected, Ashley worked with Alberta Municipal Affairs, the University of Alberta’s Office of Sustainability, the City of Waterloo & World Health Organization's Age Friendly Cities Initiative, and Abundant Community Edmonton. She is the founder of the non-profit organization, YEGarden Suites, which has supported over 8,000 Edmontonians, and helped pave the way for tens of millions of dollars in annual community investment.
Ashley has worked in public, private, and non-profit sectors, and served on the Board of Directors at the Edmonton Social Planning Council, Old Strathcona Business Association, and on the Street Speeds Committee with the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues.
She was elected to Edmonton City Council in 2021 and has championed work on affordable housing, climate policy, sustainable urban growth, and public transit. She spearheaded the creation and implementation of a new Dedicated Renewal Fund to address Edmonton's $470M annual infrastructure gap with sustainable, long-term planning, and has supported the introduction of a sweeping set of tools to address vacant and derelict problem properties.
She served as a Council Advisor on the Energy Transition Climate Resilience Committee of Council, Edmonton Arts Council, and City of Edmonton Youth Council, as well as a Council representative on Alberta Municipalities Environment Committee, and the River Valley Alliance.
