Carter Taylor-Luke is running for Dauphin City Council in the municipal election on October 26th. He says he was convinced to run by his family and friends, who think he'd do a great job representing the community.
"A lot of people actually decided for me that they think it would be a good idea for me to run because they truly believe that I would be best suited for the position, so I decided to take it upon myself to try to lead others as they ask."
Taylor-Luke says that while lots of his ideas are for a bigger area than just the City of Dauphin, there are a few issues that hit close to home.
"I'll be completely honest the ideas I have are more country-wide, however, I do have to start somewhere so City Council is a good place to start. When it comes to Dauphin, crime is a huge issue. I know a lot of people are getting jumped and beaten, drugs are a massive problem, and yet we don't have an actual rehabilitation center, and that's something that we might need to look into for Dauphin."
Taylor-Luke joins a packed race for City Council, and there's still three weeks until the September 20th registration deadline.
