Walker was first elected in the ward in 1982.
He is viewed as an independent and has never sided with the left or right factions on the city council. His reluctance to choose sides has meant that he has rarely been appointed to important city committees.

A long-time advocate of campaign finance reform,Walker is also known for having been one of only two Toronto City Councillors who did not accept corporate donations.
