The pledge
Where every candidate stands on council pay
Council pay is set by council. Voters deserve a clear answer from every candidate on the 2026 ballot. I'm asking all candidates to make their support or opposition to the Pay Accountable to City Taxpayers (PACT) Bylaw public.
Every registered candidate is listed below. As they respond, this page updates.
Whether I am elected or not, the bylaw, and all pledges, remain in the public record.
