After registering to be a candidate for Town of Caledon Mayor, George Niras has decided to no longer seek election.
He has announced, instead, that he will focus his support for candidate Gary Cascone.
“After much thought, I have decided the path to ensuring taxpayers are best represented is through a responsible candidate like Gary Cascone,” he said in a statement issued Friday.
Although he has announced that he’s concluding his campaign, Niras’s name will still be on the ballot for the Oct. 27 election.
Niras stated he wants to ensure taxpayers and their families are well protected with reasonable tax rates, while ensuring growth pays for growth. His campaign was also focused on transportation improvements including support for GO Transit buses to serve areas of the Town.
“I believe in Gary our community can have a leader who can ensure taxpayers are respected, while ensuring our local services are improved,” Niras added. “I was drawn to Gary’s message of not being a career politician and simply wanting to do well for the community.”
Niras is encouraging his supporters to get informed on the issues during this election with the hope people will gravitate to Cascone’s message of responsible change.
Sharing Cascone’s value for accountable government, Niras had some advice for voters.
“Caledon needs accountable government,” he said. “We have seen the same council elected time and time again, only to find out at the end of the term that the same issues and problems exist. It’s time we for change at Town Hall and I believe Gary’s pledge for a two term limit is something to be respected. I am now asking my supporters to get behind Gary during the advanced polls and on October 27th and really bring about some positives for our community.”
