Brighton, Ontario: Doug LeBlanc has announced today that he has registered to run
for Mayor of Brighton.
Since being elected in 2018, Doug has been a councillor who gets things done for the
residents of Brighton. He has provided a strong voice of reason at the council table. He
has dedicated his time to helping residents by expanding accessibility in town, from
sidewalk repairs to road repairs, working with councillors like Mark Bateman to increase
broadband for our rural neighbours and save the municipality millions of dollars over
his term in council.
With over 30 years of successful experience in business and as a former member of the
Canadian Armed Forces, Doug knows that dedicated service to others is crucial to
leading Brighton forward.

for shovel-ready infrastructure projects in Brighton. it’s imperative to have a leader with
the experience to provide financial stability and improve the services residents need.

lead with respect and integrity, which is why his campaign is launching the Keep It
Clean Initiative. He challenges all candidates in the election to commit to the same.
