Gaurav Walia
Candidate for Mayor
In their own words
This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.
Where they stand
Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 17 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.
