Langford has been the fastest-growing city in the region for two decades and has the youngest population to go with it, so its council decides questions of pace and sequencing that the older municipalities do not: how tall, how fast, and whether schools, transit, parks, and healthcare arrive with the housing or years behind it. What this council does about growth sets the terms for the whole West Shore.

Everyone confirmed to be running in Langford in the 2026 municipal election. Each of them is sent the same questionnaire on transit, housing, climate, arts, and the rest of what a council decides, and a candidate's own page shows how each of their answers was graded. To compare them against each other and against the region, use the full scorecard filtered to Langford.

Incumbency

Grouped by whether a candidate holds elected office now, used to, or is standing for the first time. Incumbency is role-specific on a candidate's own row — a sitting councillor running for mayor is not the incumbent mayor — and those two land in the same bucket here.
