The first non-incumbent has entered the race for a seat on Mapleton council. Moorefield area resident Lori Woodham has announced she will run for the position of councillor in the Oct. 27 municipal election.
In an email to the Wellington Advertiser, Woodham, who filed nomination papers on April 25, indicates change, transparency and fairness are elements she aims to bring to the council tale.
“What better way to embrace change than to be involved in the process. Running for council will give me the opportunity to work with staff and fellow council members to ensure transparency, fairness and all considerations be looked at within the decision processes,” she stated. “I have the time to invest, with interest to ensure all policies, procedures and long-term planning can be a smooth process.”
Incumbent councillors Jim Curry and Neil Driscoll are seeking the mayor’s post in Mapleton. Incumbent John Green is seeking re-election as Ward 2 county councillor.
