Mayor’s Race ‘Heats’ Up
With election day just around the corner, the race for the Mayor’s seat here in Carleton Place is heating up, and things got even hotter and spicier over the weekend.
The two candidates running for mayor, challenger Wendy LeBlanc and incumbent Mayor Paul Dulmage, participated in an all chili battle royale on Saturday, the 11th of September, at the Carleton Place Farmer’s Market’s chili contest.
While the Carleton Place’s mayoralty race has been pretty friendly so far, it was obvious that things at the contest turned up a notch higher, mainly because of the spicy food served courtesy of Tijuana Tilly’s Mexican restaurant.
Earlier this month, Dulmage announced his plans to run for a third term 24 hours before the closing of nominations, this after receiving the blessings of his family and close friends. The incumbent mayor looks to continue his vision of growth and progress for the community.
Opponent Councillor Wendy LeBlanc on the other hand, formally kicked off her campaign for mayor on the 24th of June.
Though the candidates certainly made their delicious choices of chili known, Carleton Place’s voters will have to wait until the 25th of October to vote for who they want as mayor.
