There will now be 2 candidates for 1 ward councilor seat in Ward 1. Fresh from the mailbox:
Good evening,
After much thought and consideration, I have decided to withdraw my name from the ballot for Ward 1 City Council. While I am still very interested in exploring participation in politics, my entry into this particular race was to ensure that Ward 1 had the opportunity to elect a progressive democrat to the Ward seat. With Maria Greenburg stepping up willing and able to provide that option, I have felt uneasy about splitting the vote. I also recognize that launching a campaign is an intense endeavor that I would like to be able to focus on more that I feel I am currently able to do.
I cannot thank everyone enough for your help and input as I tried to ramp up a campaign. I hope to use what I have learned in another capacity very soon and ideally be far more ready to execute at the level I would prefer.
Kind Regards,
Siobhan Cunningham
I salute Siobhan for her courage in entering the race and respect her thoughtful decision to withdraw. I know she will continue to be an active citizen in bettering our community in whatever role she chooses in the future. It’s been a pleasure to get to know her and I wish her all the best.
