When it comes to a bid for city council, Mikuliak focused on the process over the product
LETHBRIDGE – David Mikuliak decided to run for city council because he wanted to experience the process, but a desire for public service is fueling him as election day draws near.
Mikuliak is currently a teacher at Chinook High School, teaching music and music theatre, and says he’s enjoyed getting to talk to people about issues and is focused on making the city better.
“I really wanted to learn about the process of running in a civic election, and learn more about our civic government. Through the surveys and the questions that people have asked I’ve had to do a fair bit of research and digging, and I’ve learned a heck of a lot as a result,” Mikuliak said. “I think that was sort of the goal in the first place, I wanted to run but I also wanted to learn.”
Mikuliak says he’s had numerous conversations with young voters, and as an educator himself he’d like to see the youth vote go up.
