While incumbents may be away in attendance at UBCM this week, some of those new challengers looking to claim their own seat on City Council following the October 15th election have started to move their campaigns forward.
Some recent social media messaging from those candidates with an online presence has highlighted their recent door knocking and campaign events as they get out into the community to meet with residents and hear of their concerns about civic issues.
As we noted yesterday, Mayoralty candidate Herb Pond has been among the most active, hosting a campaign launch last week and using his social media page as a forum for some conversation.
Among those using their online presence to introduce themselves to the voters include Council candidates Andy Chugh and Teri Forster, as well as Mayoralty candidate Chrystopher Thompson.
An exploration of the online contributions to date from both incumbents and challengers show strong support of the current Council's Vision plans of the last eight years, along with some fealty for a few candidates to the Mayor's call for support for the current #ScraptheTax petition.
Jason Hoang who is also running for Mayor launched an online portal at the start of his campaign, but there have been few campaign themes delivered to it since that point.
The other candidate for Mayor Steve Fitzpatrick has yet to develop much of an online campaign presence; that is the same scenario at the moment for City Council candidate Sheila Gordon-Payne.
All of the incumbents have a social media presence, with most having at least introduced their campaigns over the last week or so.
Links to those who have social media message making underway, as well as all the latest on campaign notes from the 2022 Municipal campaign can be found from our archive page.
