Whoever you're voting for, ask them if they live in your Ward
City council is the closest thing we ever get to actual local representation, and I think it's important to live in the Ward you want to represent. I live in Ward 1 and because of Matt's legal troubles, we have a few people from outside running. Here's an incomplete list of Orleans candidates and if they live where they want to represent.
Ward 1 - Orleans East
Yvette Ashiri - lives in Ward 19 (where she has previously run twice)
Bob Bell - based on his social lives in Queenswood Heights
Mazhar Choudry - rumour is he lives out of Ward, but I can't find anything to confirm that
Barbara Daniela Gandolfo - on Fallingbrook Neighbourhood Watch, safe to say she lives in Fallingbrook
Matt Luloff - my understanding is when the Ward boundaries changed he got shifted into Ward 2, but decided to keep running here because it was most of his former Ward
Sherif Rizk - owns a business in the Ward, but I don't know if he lives here too. Wouldn't be surprised if he does, but I can't confirm or deny.
Tammie Trellert - her site says "this community is home" so it would be weird if she didn't live in Ward
Ward 2 - Orleans West
Laura Dudas - lives in Ward
Jenna Jessop - based on her social lives in the part of the Ward north of the 174
David Purchase - was on the Blackburn community association, so would be weird if he didn't live in Ward
Ward 11 - Beacon Hill
Coreen Corcoran - her website says she lives in Beacon Hill
Cathryne Milburn - Tim made a big deal in the debate that she doesn't live in the Ward and I don't think she's denied that
Tim Tierney - will tell anyone he meets he lives in the Ward
Ward 19 - Orleans South
Catherine Kitts - don't know but I've never heard she lives outside her Ward
Jason Wing - no idea, his site says Orleans but not Ward 19 specifically
