Why I'm Running

For too long, Orléans East-Cumberland has been shortchanged on investment while our communities have paid the price. Our quality of life is headed in the wrong direction and it's time to close the funding gap.

I'm running because I believe every corner of Ward 1 deserves a strong voice at City Hall. Government should work as hard as the people it serves and I'm ready to bring strong, new leadership to Orléans East-Cumberland.

As a mother, educator, and organizer I understand the importance of service to the community. I know that together we can build a stronger future for Orléans East-Cumberland. I didn't step into politics to watch from the sidelines. I stepped forward to bring a strong voice to City Hall and fight for our local priorities every single day.

"I strongly support Barbara Daniela Gandolfo’s campaign for Ottawa City Council. She would make a superb city councillor for Ward 1 Orléans East-Cumberland. Barbara supports access to affordable childcare, something that is sorely needed in our community.  We need Barbara to win so she can fight to protect our children and support their early education in publicly funded childcare centres."
