Municipal elections are underway,  included in that is the electoral race for the city of Waterloo’s two regional council seats besides the mayor’s.  This year’s election is seeing a major focus on affordability and transparency from the Region of Waterloo, among other issues. Each candidate has their own take on these issues. 

People running for this term’s seats include: Sitting councillors Jim Erb and Chantal Huinink, who are both seeking re-election. Newcomers include Sarvesh Pratap Singh, Chris Moser, Lindsay Manary, Soo Bok Lee and Rami Said. 

Radio Waterloo interviewed Erb, Huinink, Singh, Manary, Lee and Said. Moser did not respond to the invitation for an interview. 

We will publish a series of three pieces that highlight two candidates at a time. We asked each of the candidates the same questions and we will include their answers here.

This piece highlights candidates Lindsay Manary and Rami Said.

Candidate introductions were taken from the candidate’s own campaign communications where applicable.
