Re-Elect Mark Whaley for Waterloo Councillor

Experience & Commitment

It was quite an easy decision for me to put my name forward again as Ward 5 Councillor in the upcoming 2010 municipal election. Two words really summed up my reasons to want to continue in this important work, experience and commitment.

It has been a real pleasure to serve my neighbours and constituents over the past 7 years. Each elected official must create their own agenda for service as the role of councillor does not come with an instruction manual or a play book. My work on a number of task forces, committees and boards has given me a broad perspective on how Waterloo can most effectively operate as a city. Such experience has been invaluable around the council table as newer members of council begin to find their way in this occupation.

I remain committed to my work. City staff, politicians and the public have come to expect me to not just show up to meetings but also to be well prepared to make the decisions necessary to keep Waterloo moving forward. As an elected official I continue to devote considerable time to attend the forums, events and festivities that make our community unique and keep me tuned into our citizens.

So, you’ll be seeing my name again on the ballot on Oct 25^th. I hope that you agree that my combination of experience and commitment make me the right person to continue as your Councillor.
