The nomination period is officially closed, and councillors Cindy Saucier and Andr\u00e9 Brisson have decided not to run for re-election this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did two terms, and [it\u2019s] time to get some new candidates on council,\u201d said Saucier. \u201cAlso, if I commit to four more years, I would be 70 and I have been experiencing some high blood pressure which I think will lower with less stress. My husband is retired and we are looking at having more time to travel, et cetera, and be with family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Pierre Leroux has been acclaimed to his position for another four years. That leaves four councillor positions open for the October ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Councillors Mike Tarnowski and Jamie Laurin are both running for re-election. Competing against them for a place on council are candidates Charles Armstrong, Tony Baas, Lisa Deacon, Eric Greer, and Marc Lalonde.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some good candidates running and I believe Russell Township will be in good hands,\u201d said Saucier. \u201cI have lived here 35 years, but I believe I have a different vision for Russell Township. It is time to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only two out of four Russell Township councillors are running for re-election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":24667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politique"],"acf":[],"featured_media_global":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
