The city of St. Catharines, population 133,000, is represented by a mayor and a council of 12, along with six councillors on Niagara Regional Council.
In this election, Jim Bradley, who lost his seat at the Ontario legislature after serving as an MPP since 1977, is running for the regional government.
Three other members of council are looking to make a shift from the local to regional council — Mark Elliott, Mike Britton and Sandie Bellows.
Walter Sendzik is looking to secure another term as the city’s mayor.
