Waldon, 39, is a clinical social worker working as a clinical lead for Mental Health and Addiction Services at Moose Jaw Union Hospital. He told the Times-Herald he hopes to promote local social issues if elected to council chambers, as well as economic issues.
“You can’t have one without the other,” he said, adding affordable housing is a major concern for him, as is creating safe neighbourhoods and ensuring there are healthy activities available for youth.
Economically speaking, he said the city needs to attract new businesses and maintain current businesses, because a healthy economy is important to ensuring residents have a quality social life.

If elected, Waldon said he would offer the perspective of a young family man to city hall, which he believes would be valuable in council chambers, as many current council members seem to be older with children already grown up.
“I get a different view of the community and am involved in a lot of different activities... I get to offer that voice.”
