Mahil’s platform includes opening Abbotsford up for business, holding the line on property tax increases, directing city support to homelessness and addiction recovery groups, pursuing cross-border flood protection with Washington State, and protecting Abbotsford’s working farmland under the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Mahil is a first-time candidate and is set to run against incumbent Mayor Ross Siemens, fellow business owner and farmer Sukhi Dhami, and Dave Pellikaan on October 17.
