Paul Sharman seeks fifth term as Ward 5 councillor in October election

Ward 5 Councillor Paul Sharman has confirmed he will stand for re-election on October 26th. The announcement comes after over a decade of service on the city council. Sharman first took office in 2010 and is now seeking another term. Sharman’s campaign has already outlined some key priorities. He has pledged to meet residents directly in their communities if re-elected. This approach aims to address local concerns more effectively.

His stance on public transit has also shifted recently. Though not previously known as a strong advocate for transit, Sharman now appears more open to supporting improvements in this area. The re-election bid marks Sharman’s fifth campaign since entering politics. Voters in Ward 5 will decide on October 26th whether to extend his time in office. His evolving views on transit and focus on community engagement will likely shape the race.
