Brady Rogers from Canada built an entire election campaign around jokes about his lack of political experience, such as "How hard can it really be?" The signs went viral, and in the Kelowna city council elections held on October 17, he received 12,635 votes, placed fourth out of 37 candidates, and won one of the eight seats. Rogers, a small business owner with a background in automation engineering, explained that the statements about his unsuitability were made tongue-in-cheek, and that he has professional experience that can help him in the role. Alongside the election signs, he published videos addressing issues such as housing prices, the state of small businesses, and homelessness. After the results were published, Rogers clarified that he intends to take the new role seriously.
