Interim disclosures filed with the City of Edmonton show that mayoral candidate Tim Cartmell has raised significantly more than his rivals during the 2025 election campaign.

Cartmell has reported receiving $834,552 in financial contributions as of July 31, or nearly as much as all other candidates across all open positions combined. Across the rest of the field, including contenders for mayor, council, and school trustee, disclosed contributions total $842,593. The next-closest mayoral candidate to Cartmell’s fundraising total is Omar Mohammad, who reported raising $115,730, followed by Andrew Knack, who reported $42,112, Michael Walters, who reported $36,347, and Rahim Jaffer, who reported $1,930. Of note, Cartmell has been a declared mayoral candidate for the longest of the aforementioned group; Walters, on the other hand, joined the race in July.

I know this is but a small hope, but I want Cartmell to just lose. I want him to lose even though he's got $800k burning in his pocket. That lunch ain't free, someone will be coming for him.
