I'm Troy Pavlek.

I'm an Edmonton-based local politics communicator, commentator, advocate and analyst (who also professionally writes software for money, but we don't talk about that).

I co-founded the Taproot Edmonton podcast Speaking Municipally where I hosted over 300 episodes across 7 years helping residents understand everything they need to know about Edmonton City Council in 30 minutes or less.

Currently, I produce shortform video content all about Edmonton municipal politics on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube shorts

I have four cats (it is too many cats).

Get updates straight to your inbox. We don't need to include Mark Zuckerburg in our relationship.
