I'm supporting Neil Morton for mayor because I believe Peterborough needs leadership that is prepared to look forward, think differently, and consider bold ideas.

What impressed me about Neil was the way he approached this long before announcing his candidacy. He sat down for coffee with 100 people in our community to listen and understand what matters to them, what was working, and what they wanted to see change. He took what he heard and developed a blueprint for what he believes Peterborough can become.

Neil's approach for running for mayor is the same as his commitment and discipline that he's brought to being an entrepreneur. He's done his homework. He's accessible. He responds to questions, and he's willing to have conversations with people across our community.

Peterborough is also deeply personal to Neil. He was born and raised here. He built his business here. His children are here. His parents are here, and he has demonstrated his commitment to this community through his involvement with organizations like the United Way.

For me, the selection is about where Peterborough goes next. I want someone with a vision for growth, who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo, take calculated chances, and pursue new opportunities for our city. That's why I'm supporting Neil Morton for mayor.
