Truck Repair Ltd. in Dawson Creek (heavy truck and trailer repair with 24-hour mobile service, in business over 12 years). City records tie him to the business: a 2012 building permit and development variance for "KTS Truck Repair (Steven Reynolds)" at 1341 93rd Avenue.[1] His shop on 6th Street was destroyed by fire on June 12, 2025;[2] he rebuilt at 780 Highway 2 and held a customer appreciation barbecue in July 2025. Education, age and family are not published (posts mention "Kobe's pickup," likely a son, unverified).[3] ## Electoral history None. ## Advocacy On December 5, 2022 he appeared before council in the same business-owner crime delegation as Dwaine Dilworth (the Community Action Group, 80 members, asking for a dedicated RCMP unit).[4] He is not named in the November 2022 Citizens Take Action delegation and was not quoted in press coverage of the group. No other delegations or letters were found. ## Organizations None found beyond his business. ## 2026 platform Campaign page tagline: "Dawson Creek deserves leadership that listens, plans responsibly, and puts residents first" (about 352 followers).[3] July 2026: "One of Dawson Creek's ongoing challenges is that our tax base isn't large enough to adequately support the community. As a result property owners and existing businesses carry a heavier tax burden than they would in a more diversified economy." And: "One of the biggest priorities in my campaign is growing Dawson Creek not by asking more from the people who already live here but by bringing in new businesses creating jobs and expanding our tax base... I'm putting together a community driven list and will be contacting these businesses directly."[3] Nomination post: "I will work hard listen to the people of our community ask the tough questions and do everything I can to help make Dawson Creek safer stronger more affordable... I'm not running because I think I have all the answers." September 21 (seniors' centre visit): "Running for council I don't want to assume I know what everyone needs."[3] No position on the pipeline, the shelter or a tax number. ## News coverage Energeticcity.ca, September 4, 2026: he is "excited" and will give it "100 per cent."[5] Otherwise list mentions and the 2025 fire story.[2] ## What the record shows **Facts.** A 12-year trades business owner who has been through the city's permit process and a total-loss fire. His signature theme is expanding the tax base. He shares the 2022 crime delegation with Dilworth. **Our reading (inference, not fact).** Likely aligned with the Dilworth outlook, though no endorsement was found. The plan to personally recruit retailers sits outside a councillor's formal role. **Questions worth asking.** Any governance or volunteer record. His view on the water decision. How he would grow the tax base from the council table. ## Sources cited on this page 1. Council document 41826 (2012 development variance, KTS Truck Repair).
