Three-term Ottawa city councillor Scott Moffatt says he will not be seeking re-election in 2022. The 11-year veteran at city hall told CTV News Ottawa the time was right for a new chapter.
The councillor for Rideau-Goulbourn announced his decision on Twitter Saturday morning.
"Today is November 13, which is exactly 15 years to the date of my first ever election in 2006. I was 25. I lost. Politically, it was the best thing that ever happened to me," he said to start his 11-tweet thread, which closed with his announcement that he would not be running in the next election.
"While coming down from a loss will always be difficult for any candidate, I knew on November 13, 2006 that I’d be back on the ballot in 2010. That one went a bit better and there were many people who made that possible."
Speaking to CTVNewsOttawa.ca by phone, the 11-year veteran at city hall said the time was right for a new chapter.
