2022 Ontario municipal election: Meet the Kitchener Ward 1 council candidates
There will be at least three new faces in place, as Ward 3 Coun. John Gazzola, Ward 5 Coun. Kelly Galloway Sealock and Ward 10 Coun. Sarah Marsh have chosen not to seek re-election.
My long-term goal for the city is to get affordable housing, better infrastructure that stays maintained, and to keep the city’s budget within means to remain fiscally responsible.My platform is to bring affordable housing to the city, by lowering developer fees and reducing red tape so projects don’t take months and months to get started.
Hi Ward 1! I have been honoured to serve as your Councillor for the past 12 years. I was first elected when I was 35 and my prior career was in tech and finance. I was born in Kitchener and have lived here my whole life except for while earning my degree and a short while after, where I met my wife in B.C. and somehow convinced her into marrying and moving back with me. We have two children both of which we have raised right here in this ward.
I moved to Ward 1 in 2006 while working for local technology companies as a product developer. I currently work in Public Health, providing administrative and logistical support for vaccination programs. I’m a committed volunteer to organizations such as the Community Kitchen Cooperative KW, Food Not Bombs, Project Ploughshares, and the Consumption and Treatment Services located in Kitchener.
