When Lindell Smith was elected in 2016, he won handily. He was the only Black Nova Scotian on the HRM council, the first elected in 16 years. Plus, he was only 26-years-old. Councillor Smith talks about the challenges of being a political newbie, what he's proud of accomplishing and what's next now that he's decided to not run.
