Kareem Allam

Background

Allam is a political strategist who managed ABC’s 2022 campaign and served as Ken Sim’s first chief of staff. He is now running for the Vancouver Liberals.

Published priorities

His current plan proposes 400 additional frontline City workers, consolidating housing approvals and aligning Vancouver’s building rules with the provincial code. It also makes the UBC SkyTrain extension a transportation priority.

A question to follow

How would the additional services be paid for, and which housing approvals would change during the first year?

This is Side Street’s reporting question, not a question already answered by the candidate.
