Incumbent Ward 2 Councillor Stephen Simonelli also lost his bid for councillor-at-large, receiving 1,187 votes. On the other end of the spectrum, candidate Gerly Adrien and Councillor-at-Large Wayne Matewsky both topped the ticket with 1,973 votes. Matewsky was pleased with the results of his campaign. “I’m grateful for receiving more votes than the previous election; I did well in every neighborhood,” he said. “I’m always grateful for the voters’ loyal support over the years.” Councillor-at-Large John Hanlon said 223 votes were all that separated the top five candidates in the at-large race. “It was a tight election,” he said. Hanlon said he was also surprised that there were nearly 10,000 blank votes. “I don’t know why we got that many blanks, that’s pretty strange,” he said. However, Hanlon said he expects the City Council will remain solid going forward. “We should have a good council; I don’t think there will be any uprisings,” he said. Hanlon finished with 1,885 votes to secure another term. COUNCIL | SEE PAGE 4 P L O U H C S K Y K S O M E
