Longtime Calgary councillor and Alberta NDPer Joe Ceci to call it a career in 2027
Joe Ceci says he wants to spend more time with his recently retired wife after 3 legislative terms and 15 years on Calgary city council.
- After a 15-year run as a Calgary city councillor and three terms in the legislature, Joe Ceci announced he will not seek re-election next fall to spend time with his recently retired wife, Christine.
- Sarah Hoffman, who served in Rachel Notley's cabinet, noted Ceci was instrumental in building the 2015 'orange wave,' with candidates joining the NDP because "they wanted to be on the same team as Joe."
- As Alberta's only New Democrat finance minister, Ceci managed provincial finances during the 2017 downturn; Notley described him as "naturally kind" and noted his values drove decisions rather than short-term political gain.
- The 2019 election of Jason Kenney's United Conservative Party initiated a "summer of repeal" where many NDP flagship policies were dismantled, yet Ceci retained his Calgary seat for two additional terms.
- In his post-political life, Ceci will likely be found on the dance floor at Calgary shows, with Hoffman describing him as "the kind of dancer who doesn't care who's watching.
