Webber wants another term on Kelowna council

Sep 15, 2026 | 9:40 AM

First-time city councillor Rick Webber wants a second term on council, noting he now has some experience at the table under his belt.

Webber said his campaign would be like his first: a commitment to serving residents as an independent voice free from political affiliations, campaign donations, and special-interest influence.

He said he will again run a self-funded campaign and will not accept donations or financial support. He will also not seek endorsements from political parties, organizations, industry groups, or electoral slates.

Public safety will remain a central priority of his campaign, he said in a statement.

“Residents continue to tell me that crime, social disorder, and homelessness are among their biggest concerns,” said Webber. “Kelowna must continue to invest in public safety but also programs that support vulnerable people to address social disorder that makes the broader community feel unsafe.”
