Candidate for Local and Regional Councillor (four elected at large)

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.

Rai supports cutting approval delays, more housing options near transit, and growth coordinated with infrastructure.
