Louroz Mercader

Candidate for Councillor Ward 7

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 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Mercader would work with developers and non-profits to build more affordable housing.

  • Work with developers and non-profits to build more affordable housing.
  • Secure funding for the promised Cooksville Community Centre and Library.
