Candidates in Prince Rupert Council race begin to expand on their narratives as election campaign moves forward

The flow of information is on the rise in some instances as a smattering of the eight candidates for the six Council Seats up for grabs begin to expand on their campaign narratives and share more details on where they are when it comes to issues and policies for the four years ahead.

When it comes to information sharing by the incumbents, two of them, in  Councillor Wade Niesh and Councillor Gurvinder Randhawa seem content to rest on their early social media message advising of their quest for another four year term in office.

As we noted yesterday, Councillor Reid Skelton-Morven's focus of late has been on that of the campaign by a challenger for a council seat. Those themes explored through his social media page over the weekend. As for any thoughts on his campaign for a return to Council, his social media stream so far has not delved too far into many issues for the community.

Councillor Barry Cunningham has mostly of late offered up a snapshot of his time on the campaign trail, from sign placements to notes on the work of Council at UBCM and his ongoing attention to themes of health care.

Councillor Nick Adey expanded on his campaign notes today, with a look at some of his recent conversations with would be voters on a range of topicss, as well as his participation in the weekend #ScrapthePortTaxpetition push.

Of the three challengers for a seat, Andy Chugh has not had much to share since a late September social media message making note of a string of vandalism incidents and thefts of his campaign signs around town.

Much as Councillor Cunningham has done, Teri Forster has for the most part used her social media stream of late to share campaign moments and snap shots of community notes, with less in the way of her previous overview of campaign issues.

Looking for a return to the Council Chamber, Sheila Gordon-Payne has recently delivered a fairly expansive policy piece to her social media page, providing a glimpse of her thoughts on a range of local issues.

The candidates have a chance to expand on their talking points tonight at the Prince Rupert Labour Council sponsored election Forum. 

That campaign event takes place at the Multi-Purpose room of Charles Hays Secondary School staring at 7PM.

There are no plans to live stream the event, so for those looking for more information on where the candidates are towards civic issues, the forum offers one possible last glance at the group in one place.
