BURLINGTON,ON

We asked the candidates that didn’t win their wards for comments on the results.

Ward 1 candidate Robert Radway and Ward 2 candidate Keith Demoe got back to us

Here is what they had to say.

Robert Radway said: “would like to congratulate Mr. Galbraith and his team on the election.

“I am very proud of what the Radway Team has accomplished in this campaign. We certainly look forward to the next election and especially speaking to more constituents about the concerns they have in Ward One.

Robert Radway: Sitting at his table in a Tom Hortons coffee shop.

“I was very pleased that many Ward One residents felt it was important to vote and earning 2,404 votes was a wonderful feeling. Thank you for all of your support.

Development is still on the minds of many Ward One residents and Mr Galbraith will be on notice when deciding on matters for all residents concerning his conflict of interest.

I hope the council truly takes into consideration what residents want for their neighbourhoods and the city for our future.

Thank you

Keith Demoe who ran a very lean campaign had this to say:

Keith Demoe holding what was perhaps the biggest hand held sign used in the election. He plans to roll it up for another day.

“I’d like to thank those who voted for me and those that assisted me in delivering postcards to most doors.

“This was my first time and plan to jump back in, whether it’s local, provincial, or federal. I am still happy with my results…I worked for those votes as did Tim O’Brien. I can share that I underestimated the amount of time involved in canvassing…this is something one must start early.

“You cannot meet everyone and must plan different events to get people out. I was an unknown and looking back would say that an open debate with crossfire is a much needed.

“From city view, the public spoke and are not looking for change at this time. I’d also like to thank Pepper Parr for getting my name out there with his readership.”
