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.

What happens to my tax bill, and where does the money go?

Government
Will decisions be made in the open, and will anyone answer for them?
Mitchell Shea promises public explanations before votes and published spending and wait times.
- Accountability, visibility, oversight: decisions explained in public before the vote.
- Wants spending and wait times published; a councillor you can reach who reports back on what he did.

Roads & infrastructure
Will the things I use every day actually get fixed?
Not reviewed yet. Know something?
Economy
Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?
Mitchell Shea wants a year-round economy with fewer permit delays, local food and rural connectivity.
- Wants an economy that runs all year: cut permit delays and zoning fights so people can run a business, take a trade job and work from home in February, not just July.
- Food grown here, eaten here: let farms sell what they grow without a zoning fight; get Muskoka-grown food onto local menus and shelves; keep farmland farming.
- Wants infrastructure that reaches residents: cell towers where calls drop, fibre down back concessions, 5G, reliable power, and roads and bridges kept ahead of failure.

Environment
Is the candidate protecting the nature we live in?
