Former Ontario Transportation Minister and Ontario Liberal Party leader Steven Del Duca has been elected the new mayor of Vaughan.
“Thank you to the people of Vaughan for your confidence and faith. I am so so humbled with the support to be your next mayor of this incredible city,” Del Duca said in a victory speech.
He beat out long-time Ward 4 Councillor Sandra Yeung-Racco by less than a thousand votes in a tighter-than expected race. With all polls reporting, Del Duca won the election by just 851 votes according to the unofficial tally. Despite the introduction of online voting for the first time in this election, voter turnout was abysmal at less than 27 per cent.
He said Monday night that he looks forward to working with the new council to meet the challenges that the city faces. Del Duca, a lawyer by training, is married and has two daughters. He has been involved in politics since going to work for former MP Joe Volpe in his teens.While Yeung-Racco slammed Bevilacqua’s open endorsement of Del Duca, others endorsed him too, including former councillor and MP Deb Schulte, who dropped out of the race because of health concerns.
