While some politicians set New Year’s resolutions, others like Oshawa Regional Councillor Tito-Dante Marimpietri opt for New Year’s commitments. Marimpietri, who has been on Oshawa Council since 2003 (aside from a four-year gap from 2014-2018), is the first to announce his candidacy for mayor in this fall’s municipal election to succeed current mayor Dan Carter, who has stated he won’t be seeking re-election. If elected, Marimpietri intends to revitalize Oshawa as an economic leader while ensuring affordability, enhancing neighborhoods, and creating a city that “works for everyone.” “For over two decades, I’ve performed the work required to help diversify our local economy and build a strong, resilient city,” Marimpietri said in announcing his mayoralty bid. “I’ve collaborated and negotiated with every level of government to make Oshawa stronger. I’ve worked with industry leaders and I’ve learned what it takes to deliver results. When others said it couldn’t be done, we united our team and made it happen.” His vision includes a city where transit functions smoothly, parks and green spaces are expanded and more age-friendly, downtown thrives, and neighborhoods are safe, sustainable, and vibrant – “from the ridges through downtown to the waterfront.” For Marimpietri, it’s now time to put that experience into action along with a “bold, dynamic vision” for leading Oshawa into the future. “It’s not a resolution,” he said. “It is a commitment.” Oshawa Regional Councillor Tito-Dante Marimpietri Last 30 Days: 63,750 Votes All Time: 1,121,477 Votes 1708 VOTES
