Meet the Candidate: Robert Dumanowski
MEDICINE HAT, AB – Councillor Robert Dumanowski says the enthusiasm for his role in the city has not waned over the past 16 years.
“I love public office, I love public service,” he said. “I’m still as excited -and I mean that sincerely- if not more about the possibility of entering a sixth term as I was the first term.
“I say this to many people; For me, public office is a vocation. It is a calling to be with the people and a voice for the people.”
Dumanowski, who is an elementary school principal, was first elected to city council in 2001, and has been re-elected every year since. His five terms make him the longest-serving city councillor with consecutive terms factored in (Councillor Julie Friesen has served six terms in total, from 1989-1992, 1998-2010, and 2013-present).
