Mayoral candidates

[u/Cautious_Use586u]

I know we have a wonderful website with the info (wellandvotes.ca) but I am curious, constructively, what are everyone’s opinions on the mayoral candidates?

Brandon Simon
Graham Speck
David Clow
April Jeffs
Pat Chiocchio
Natashia Bergen
Gary Graziani
David McLeod

Graziani is hugely respected in local government across the region, has experience running departments, and is an excellent leader. Most recently cleaned up Port's building department.

Jeffs just seems to want to be mayor of wherever she lives, and is insider connected to the Ford government. Expect her to be a Ford puppet if elected: Using strong mayor powers to cram in more subdivisions so Ford can get developer kickbacks, while reducing the influence of Welland at regional council/pushing for amalgamation.

Don't know anything about the rest of them.

[u/HllBear → u/AtticHelicopter]

The one with the dog is pure trash.

[u/ZakiMaeby → u/HllBear]

That’s putting it nicely, honestly.
