There are 13 mayors in Metro Vancouver stepping down next month, and some of the election campaigns to replace them are full of intrigue. With three-term mayor and Metro Vancouver chair Greg Moore stepping aside, there are four candidates looking to replace him: Patrick Alambets, Eric Hirvonen, Robin Smith and Brad West. "Brad's done a great job on council, a great job in our community, and I think he'll do a really great job as the mayor of Port Coquitlam." While an experienced politician, West is just 33 years old — and is happy to sometimes buck conventional wisdom among Metro Vancouver's current leaders. CBC Vancouver is exploring the mayoral campaigns in each of Metro Vancouver's 21 municipalities leading up to civic elections on Oct. 20.
