While he has recently been rivals with the premier, Del Duca told cp24.com in the weeks ahead of the vote that municipal politics allows people the chance to “park partisanship at the door” and to work with people from all parties and levels of government to move things forward. 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. Observers say he comes prepared to meetings and is passionate about creating good policy.
The city now is connected to Toronto with a subway extension to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre at Highway 7, with another subway extension into the city planned along Yonge Street from Finch Avenue to High Tech Road in Richmond Hill. It also has a hospital, a rapid bus line and mushrooming crop of new condo towers.
The challenge going forward, Bevilacqua told cp24.com ahead of the election, will be figuring out how to accommodate thousands of new residents in the coming years while respecting existing ones. Crime was also cited as a concern in the election campaign, amid a rising trend of carjackings that has hit the GTA.
