Jim Watson is gunning for the mayoral hat trick.
The former Ottawa city councillor and provincial Liberal MPP and cabinet minister hopes to secure a third consecutive term (and fourth term overall), as the city’s leader. He won the 2014 election comfortably, with 76.2 per cent of the vote.
On council, 19 of the 23 sitting councillors are running for re-election. A record number of 17 candidates will be on the ballot for Orléans, where there is no incumbent.
There are no acclaimed candidates for city council.
