Ward 10 does not have an incumbent, with outgoing Coun. Landon Mohl not seeking re-election following one term at city hall.

Adefuye holds a master’s degree in public policy from the University of Regina and is pursuing her PhD.

With a "strong grasp of economics and politics," Simmie claims he is well positioned to help Regina attract investment and navigate a changing global landscape.
Clark Bezo is campaigning on "No politics, just progress."

Flegel is a past president of North Regina Little League and Regina Crime Stoppers. Additionally, he’s been actively involved in Ward 10’s business community for the past 35 years.
“Now is the time to bring me back,” he said in his pitch.
