Election History
VulnerableScore: 69/100→ Stable
Won by 40 votes (2.7%)1.4% swing needed to unseat
The councillor's 40-vote majority (2.69%) and the 8.0 percentage-point narrowing of the margin since the previous election indicate heightened vulnerability. A swing of just 1.35% would be enough to unseat them, with the low turnout of 29.66% and four candidates increasing the potential for vote fragmentation.
