Here's who's running in Leamington — and why they say you should vote for them

Here's who's running in Leamington — and why they say you should vote for them

CBC
Wednesday, October 19, 2022 11:55 AM GMT

Voting by mail is underway in Leamington.

CBC News reached out to all the candidates in Leamington, asking the same questions so voters can learn a bit more about who may be on their next council.

The following candidates were invited to complete the questionnaire via email but did not respond by deadline:

Age: 70 

Occupation: Legal department manager, Ordonez Group. 

Where do you live?: Leamington.

Experience:  Over 35 years of experience representing people in courts and tribunals has given me the education, skills, and abilities necessary to make Leamington a dynamic city. One governed by a municipality that keeps in touch with our community, while being transparent and dedicated to serve both our people and our business sector. 

 What are the top issues facing your municipality?  

Why are you the right person for the job? I relate to people of all backgrounds and social strata. I understand the needs, dreams, and goals of our community, and providing service for others has always been a priority of mine. 

When dealing with the needs of our community, I will make sure that everybody is treated with respect and fairness.  We need to keep in touch with all members of our residents, and place all of our resources, skills, and capabilities to fully realize the objectives of all members of our community. 

I don't owe any favours or have any preferences for any particular sector of our community.  I will serve everybody with a high sense of respect, honesty and without any bias or preferential treatment. 

Something you'd like voters to know about you:  I was born in Santiago, Chile, and lived there until 1982 when I came to Canada as a political refugee. I am recognized by the Chilean Government as a victim of torture. I am a community advocate and paralegal licensed by the Law Society of Ontario, and my strong sense of social justice has led me to always providing a significant portion of my services for free to community members who cannot afford legal fees.

I have been gifted with my wonderful spouse and three beautiful daughters, and for over a decade, I've been in love with our beautiful City of Leamington. 

Age: 69
