Closed mind: not willing to consider facts, ideas and opinions that are new or different to your own.

Closed door policy: the practice of doing things secretly and not letting the public know about them.

Incumbents have an advantage but so do voters. Fact check what the incumbent's campaign message is against their actions. For example, if they promise to be responsive, have they answered emails or phone calls? If they promise affordability, what have they done to decrease debt? If they promise to prioritize infrastructure, have they voted in favour of road and sidewalk repairs? If they promise to listen, have they voted against hearing from delegates?

Dozens of area residents seeking more information on whether to run for office in the 2026 municipal election attended, either in person or virtually, a Pre-Election Candidates Information Session held Wednesday night at the County of Essex Administration Building.

The keynote speakers were Spencer Fitzpatrick, Senior Municipal Advisor with the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and consultants Michelle Casavecchia-Somers and Michelle Smibert of Clerks on Call. They also fielded questions from attendees about campaign finances and other campaign rules and regulations.

Outside Council Chambers, following the presentations, local municipalities from across the County set up information tables and handled queries from interested residents.
