Rahim Jaffer will officially announce his candidacy for Edmonton 's mayor on Wednesday .
He says he wants to restore a vision of Edmonton when crime was manageable, taxes and affordability were reasonable.
Jaffer represented Edmonton as a Reform and Conservative MP from 1997 to 2008 .
He won four elections at the age of 25 before losing a close one in 2008 to the NDP .
Jaffer was charged with drunk driving and drug possession (cocaine) in 2009 after police in Ontario pulled him over for speeding.
Those charges were later dropped while Jaffer pleaded guilty to a lesser offence of careless driving.
His bigger challenge is name recognition.
Edmonton has grown considerably since he was an MP, which means there are a lot of voters who won’t really know who he is.
