One thing is already certain about Norfolk County’s upcoming municipal election: there will be several new faces around the council table.
Mayor Amy Martin has announced she will not seek re-election, leaving the mayor’s chair open and attracting a crowded field of candidates.
Ward 3 will also have a new councillor, after Mike Columbus decided not to seek re-election.
There will be at least one new councillor in Ward 5, where Doug Brunton is leaving his seat to run for mayor, while Ward 6 is guaranteed a new representative with Adam Veri also entering the mayoral race.
That means Norfolk County is guaranteed at least three new faces around the council table following the October election, with the possibility more depending on the outcome of the mayoral race and other ward contests.
The final number of changes won’t be known until voters head to the polls on October 26th.
