KAWARTHA LAKES-Former Councillor, Ron Ashmore, says he plans to run in the next municipal election.
Ashmore says he plans to run in what will be the new Ward 6. Ashmore says his platform would be to “bring people and families back to the City of Kawartha Lakes and provide new incentives for businesses to expand or relocate here.”
He says council needs more rural expertise. “We need solid and knowledgeable rural representation in our municipal council” says Ron Ashmore, “and this is what I have to offer to our community.” The council hopeful says he’s a 5th generation farm business owner. He is currently at Mortgage Agent.
Ashmore was previously a councillor in Ward 14 and a member of the Police Services Board. He was suspended from the board in 2014 while the Ontario Civillian Police Comission investigated allegations of misconduct against him. Ashmore got into hot water for his views on the use of Tasers by police. He says he was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Ashmore plans to provide more detail on his platform on May 18th. The Municipal Election is on October 22nd 2018.
