Get to know the candidates
Built ONLY from public, linked sources — captured Jul 30, 2026. Where a candidate hasn't published anything yet, we say so instead of guessing. Every candidate can add or correct their profile via the Corrections process.
Roshan Nallaratnamfor Mayor
Over a decade in public service — first as a police officer, then in senior political staff roles in the Ontario government (his account). Previously ran for office in Scarborough-Guildwood per Campaign Life Coalition's candidate records (third-party source). Commits to serving full-time as mayor.
What to expect / where he stands: published priorities lean fiscal accountability + community safety; the Campaign Life Coalition record indicates past engagement with that group’s candidate questionnaires — review the source directly and draw your own conclusions. No Kingsville voting record exists yet (first local run).
Published platform (roshannallaratnam.com): responsible taxes & accountability · families and youth · seniors' well-being · community safety · local business & economy. Slogan: “A leader who listens. A community that thrives.”
