Ana Luisa Vasquez De Espinal
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 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.
Taxes & spending
What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?
Vasquez would publish a plain-language Total Tax Bill every budget cycle so residents know what they're paying.
- Legible plain-language Total Tax Bill every budget cycle.
- No headline number hiding the real increase.
- Yearly honest account of what's achieved and what isn't.

“Every resident gets one legible plain-language Total Tax Bill, every budget cycle, so nobody has to guess what they're paying or why.”

“Mississauga should be inclusive and communicate in the language residents actually feel comfortable in (readable materials, one-on-one consultations, and city communications delivered directly in that language)”

Roads & infrastructure
Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?
Vasquez's Year 1 would be a maintenance-and-review year: inspect water, sewer, road and transit systems before spending.
- Year 1 as mayor: maintenance and review, not spending.
- Commission independent honest inspection of water, sewer, road, transit systems.
- Build a real plan from findings, with residents at the table.
- Infrastructure and MiWay first; sewer network failing (32% of inspected stormwater facilities needed intervention in 2024).

“So in my Year 1 as mayor isn't a spending year (it's a maintenance and review year). Before spending on big plans, I will commission an independent, honest inspection of Our City's water, sewer, road, and transit systems, and build a real plan from what we find, with residents at the table.”

Economy
Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?
Vasquez wants City Hall to work at the speed of business: calibrated development charges, single-window permitting.
- Calibrate development charges so they don't kill smaller rental/commercial projects.
- Single-window permitting process.
- Licensing/procurement workshops to help local businesses bid on city contracts.
