Homeless Candidate Andrew Goodsell Runs for Halifax Mayor

Living in a tent, Goodsell's campaign focuses on housing reform and challenges the status quo of career politicians.

Andrew Goodsell, a 38-year-old experiencing homelessness, is running for mayor of Halifax to provide an alternative to traditional career politicians.
His primary campaign promise is to develop 'dignified public housing' in response to the rising cost of living and the increase in homeless encampments.
Goodsell's campaign also advocates for affordable public transit and stricter regulations on developers.
Despite limited resources, he has engaged the community through social media and personal interactions, often seen with his black Belgian shepherd, Dusty.
Social advocates highlight Goodsell's candidacy as a significant representation of the diverse voices within the homeless community.
