My name is Steven Fishman, and I'm running to be the next deputy mayor of Innisfil.
I'm currently 54 years old and have a background in marketing and business administration.
I first ran for office in 2007 as the provincial Liberal candidate in the riding of Simcoe-Grey. In 2010, while still living in Wasaga Beach, I ran for mayor.
While I did not win either race, it was a great experience meeting residents across Simcoe County.
During my career, I've worked in a management position with the City of Vaughan. This gave me great insight into how municipal government works, and that experience, combined with my political experience, has prepared me to be the next deputy mayor of Innisfil.
Innisfil is at a crossroads with our residents playing the highest taxes and hydro rates in Simcoe County.
My goal, if elected, will be to review the town’s operations and see where savings can be achieved.
I want your council to be open and transparent; therefore, I will seek to have the Town of Innisfil’s staff and council member expenses posted on the town’s website each quarter.
In a effort to reduce our hydro rates, I have a plan that will see our hydro rates go down, improve service, and bring an influx of cash to the town.
I have a plan to deal with issues at our beach park and with parking in the surrounding area.
I have a plan to expand Innisfil's Uber program.
I have a plan to deal with our traffic safety issues.
Change is coming to Innisfil, and it's time that your elected council works for you. I encourage you to visit my website at votefishman.com, give me a call at 647-299-4146, or send me an email at [email protected].
