Post Campaign Update
It has been over a month since the election, and I thought I would give an update of what has happened since then. It took us two days to get all the signs down in Ward 4. We had two crews working on the large signs and one on the small signs. I hope that the next council will change the bylaw requiring all signs to be down within 36 hours, since it is clearly unrealistic. Sean made a joke, that the good thing about having lots of our small signs stolen was that it made the clean up easier. We had a lot of requests for the wood that supported the signs, and for the signs themselves. The 4 x 4, and 4 x 8 sheets were taken by individuals who were going to use the wood for their own signs, in order to advertise for farmers markets. A teacher came by and grabbed some of the 4 x 4 signs for an arts project, while another batch went to someone that will use them for lining of sheds. The other wood went to individuals who were going to use it in a construction project, and the scraps will make good kindling. I am ...
A Final Message from a Campaign Manager
With 6000 votes, or 21% of all votes cast, Sean came in second place. It was a tense night, Ward 4 was the last to come in, and we stayed till 2am for the last polls to roll in. I would like to thank everyone that came out to support Sean last night. It was a great campaign, and a great experience. We had lots of people pop in an out that night, all wishing their best for Sean. Big thanks to all are phone callers; we crammed people into every corner, office, and seat we could. As well, a big thanks to all the MLA’s, Alderman, and supporters that came by to say good luck to Sean. We ran a good, positive campaign and fought hard. I would like to congratulate Gael Macleod for being elected the new Alderman of Ward 4. You were a good competitor. I wish Naheed Nenshi good luck as our new Mayor, the positive change that he wants to see in Calgary, is what Sean’s message of “Making A Difference...Together” was all about. I have learned on this campaign that it is about the character of the candidate, not which party membership they hold. Sean showed that, he ...

Calgary Herald Questions
Sean answered questions for the Calgary Herald that were printed today. They however, cut some of his answers off. Here are the complete answers.Name: Sean Chu Age: 47 Marital/family status: Father of two Career: Calgary Police Officer Political experience: Ran in Calgary-Buffalo for the PC Party in 2008. I am running for: Ward 4 Alderman Website: seanchu.ca 1. How would you describe your political/leadership style? My leadership style is to lead by example. I volunteer regularly for many Ward 4 community associations, and I sit on many organizations such as the Sien Lok Society, and the Wildrose Lion’s Club. Real political leadership is doing your upmost to make sure that citizens have a genuine voice to represent them, and understands that long term solutions are better than short term fixes, an idea that has sadly been forgotten at City Hall. 2. Describe your most significant achievement of the past five years. One of my proudest moments was when I received the Alberta Centennial Medal for all my volunteer work. But there was also the time when I was working, and young men came up to me and thanked me for arresting him years back, and how he had changed his life because of it. Knowing I made a difference, no matter ...
How Can Sean Represent Ward 4?
The campaign team has been getting a lot of questions lately from voters of Ward 4 that want to know how Sean will be able to represent Ward 4. This is a Four part answer. One, I ask you to read the blog post that we put on are website last night, it tells of Sean’s 20 year commitment to the Ward. From calling Ward 4 his first home, from becoming a police officer that works in the Ward, to all of his community work that has all been contained in the Ward. Sean knows the issues that affect the Ward; he has been a part of this community for 20 years. Sean sees the traffic congestion, the crime, and the neglect of the Ward by City Hall. He wants to change that. Two, look at Sean’s policies, and you will see that he has the ideas, and the drive, to solve these issues. Three, look at Sean’s message of “Making A Difference...Together,” and drive around the Ward. You see Sean’s lawn signs are everywhere, those are supporters. Those are people who have stuck with Sean, seen his sincerity, his passion, and have been a part of the campaigns ...
