As the nomination deadline for this fall’s municipal election draws nearer, one big question remains unanswered – will Mayor Jeff Leal join six others in seeking Peterborough’s top elected seat?
With the nomination period closing August 21st, Mayor Leal is still thinking over whether he wants to possibly continue his close to 40 years’ service as a politician, both municipally and provincially.
Mayor Leal speaks to the ultimate deciding factor in his decision.
With six candidates seeking the mayor’s chair, Mayor Leal says voters have a choice, which is healthy for a democracy to work.
Should he decide to run for re-election, this campaign will mark Mayor Leal’s 14th campaign, pitting him against Keith Riel, Neil Morton, Dr. Michael Eamon, Rebecca Schillemat, Jacob Méthot and Brian Lumsden.
