Leslie O’Shaughnessy’s got some competition as he tries to secure a second term as mayor of Cornwall.
Sitting councillors Bernadette Clement and David Murphy have both thrown their hats in the mayoral ring. Nicole Spahich is also in the running; she has run for mayor once before, in 2010.
O’Shaughnessy unseated former mayor Bob Kilger by less than 1,000 votes in 2014.
Residents of Cornwall, located an hour southeast of Ottawa, have 30 candidates to choose from for 10 council seats. Only one sitting councillor isn’t seeking re-election.
