An open letter to candidates for the 2014 Municipal Election
Northvancouverpolitics.com has been covering North Vancouver political issues for almost four municipal elections cycles. It usually gets a little more exciting around here during an election year and in fact the blog was born in 2005 primarily to cover that years' election. On that note, the blog would like to extend an invitation to all candidates who are planning to run in this November's Election to email us here at northvancouverpolitics.com with your views, candidacy profiles, and platforms etc. for posting here so that the community may become just that much more informed as to who they are voting for.
Happy Politicking!

For the District you are likely to see:
Mayor:
Richard Walton
Councillor:
Mike Little
Roger Bassam
Doug Mackay-Dunn
Lisa Muri
Trustee:
Franci Stratton
Mike McGraw
Barry Forward
Cindy Gerlach
I think Alan Nixon is retiring, and Robin Hicks is a maybe. Of course all seats are up for grabs, but there will only be one or two council seats without an incumbent challenging.
Barry Forward or Mike McGraw could potentially run for council, and would probably be good additions to the incumbants.
For the City:
Mayor:
Darrell Mussatto
Council:
Don Bell
Linda Buchanan
Rod Clark
Craig Keeting
Trustees:
Christie Sacré
Lisa Bayne
Guy Heywood has said he is out, and I think Pam Bookham is a maybe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Susan Skinner switch to council.
Wow, how appropriate! It was just reported on CBC news that the Province has decided that municipal elected officials will serve for 4 years instead of 3. That could be a game changer.
Are all you candidates ready to serve that extra year?
Not entirely sure if it is effective from this years; election.
CKNW is reporting it as taking effect this year.
