FOR MAYOR OF VAUGHAN

Vaughan Is Ours.

A City We Can Afford. A City That Moves. A City Where We Can Build Our Future.
Practical leadership focused on affordability, traffic, opportunity, responsible growth and a City Hall that delivers results.

Why I'm Running

I’m running for Mayor of Vaughan because our city deserves leadership that listens first and gets things done. I’ve spent time speaking with residents, families and local businesses, and the message is clear: people want a city that is more affordable, easier to get around, better planned and filled with opportunity.
I want Vaughan to be a city where young people can build their futures, entrepreneurs can start and grow businesses, families can afford to stay, and residents can see real results from City Hall.
As Mayor, I will bring a practical, collaborative approach focused on the issues that affect everyday life — traffic, affordability, responsible growth, community safety, jobs and opportunity, and accountable government.
Vaughan has enormous potential. It’s time to build that future together.

Focused on the Issues That Affect Daily Life in Vaughan

These are the areas I believe require serious attention. As I continue meeting residents across Vaughan, I also want to hear what is working, what is not, and what you believe City Hall should prioritize.
FEATURED ISSUE

Get Vaughan Moving

Too many Vaughan residents are losing too much of their day sitting in traffic. Shelly believes transportation, infrastructure and development planning need to work together — so Vaughan can move again.

Smarter Traffic Signal Coordination

Improving signal timing along major corridors to reduce unnecessary delays.

Expanded & More Reliable Transit

Working with York Region Transit to improve service frequency and reliability.

Safer Roads for Pedestrians & Cyclists

Investing in safer crossings, sidewalks, and cycling infrastructure across the city.

Better Planning for New Development

Ensuring new development includes the infrastructure needed to support it.

BUILD YOUR FUTURE IN VAUGHAN.

Build your business here.
Build your career here.
Raise your family here.
Build your future here.

Shelly’s vision is for Vaughan to become a city of opportunity — where young people have pathways to jobs and skills, entrepreneurs can build successful businesses, and families don’t have to leave the city to find their future.

Shelly Listens

Before City Hall decides what matters most, I want to hear from the people who live and work here.
