Incumbent candidates have registered in 10 of the city’s 12 wards thus far, plus the mayor’s position as a result of Mayor Brian Bigger registering his nomination paperwork on Friday
With Jordan Derro registering as a candidate in Ward 1 earlier this month, there’s now at least one candidate in every of the City of Greater Sudbury’s 12 wards.
A few days after Derro registered as the lone candidate in Ward 1, incumbent Mark Signoretti filed his papers with the city. This leaves Ward 9 as the only municipal jurisdiction with a lone candidate, where incumbent Deb McIntosh is seeking re-election. With a candidate now running against him, Signoretti said Oct. 24 will serve as a “performance appraisal” for not only him but also a strong majority of his colleagues.A full slate of candidates is but one of the latest developments in the Oct. 24 civic election to take place in the past several days, during which a seventh mayoral candidate, Mila Wong, also registered.
On that front, incumbents have registered in every municipal ward except Ward 7 and 12. Mayor Brian Bigger submitted his paperwork last week to run for re-election. Marking the final week candidates will be allowed to register with the city, the City of Greater Sudbury issued a media release in which they count a total of 63 candidates between the municipal and school boards elections and that there are still some school board races without candidates registered.
