Arslan Ahmad

Candidate for York Region District School Board Trustee – King and Vaughan Ward 1

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

What a trustee actually does

Does the candidate understand the trustee job?

  • Education funding focused on what matters most: students.
  • Spend responsibly and transparently; reduce unnecessary expenses.
  • Fund programs with a purpose and measure whether they work.
