Putting that into practice, she has hosted multiple community meetings and brought the police chief and city administration to help answer questions.

“As I announce my decision to seek re-election, I remain committed to building on the progress we have made together. I am deeply invested in the future of our city and am dedicated to serving our residents with integrity and passion,” she said.

Elections are this fall. So far, Mayor Greg Dionne and councillors Blake Edwards in Ward 6 and Tony Head in Ward 3 have said they will run again. Don Cody in Ward 4 is not running again.

Dionne has one challenger for mayor’s seat so far as Bill Powalinsky has stated he will run for the mayor as well.
