The rest of council
Wards
Newmarket council is the mayor plus eight other members. Each ward grade uses the same rules as the mayor’s: a verified local result counts, a promise that is only their word does not, and an acclamation lowers the score. Portraits are the town’s official photos.
Deputy mayor
Contested
Tom Vegh
C+$143,178.98Sunshine List
He would not give himself a letter grade and said voters should do that. The neighbourhood-park promise and the claim of 900 events are still his account. The development-charge squeeze he is campaigning on is a provincial decision.

Ward 1
Not running
Grace Simon
C$55,894.21Town salary
Her 2022 ward asks — a dog park, Copper Hills traffic calming, and basketball courts — do not have a completion report on this page. The mayor credits her with ward park work and speed mitigation. That is his summary, not a project list.

Ward 2
Not running
Victor Woodhouse
C-$55,894.21Town salary
He is leaving to spend time with family. The published goodbye names Riverwalk Commons, the Tom Taylor Trail, summer concerts, Main Street, and Mulock Park. Those are town projects. A Ward 2 project list for this term has not been published.

Ward 3
Contested
Jane Twinney
C$55,894.21Town salary
Frank Hollingsworth Park is still a drawing. The arena came down in 2021, a slice of the land was sold for condominiums, and construction of the park is expected in 2027. She grades the term A and A+.

Ward 4
Contested
Trevor Morrison
B$55,894.21Town salary
The Proctor Park courts are a sourced delivery. The Rogers Park garden, shade canopies, and the Newmarket Heights table are still plans or his description. He grades himself A and A+, including three to four ward meetings a year.

Ward 5
Acclaimed
Bob Kwapis
C+$55,894.21Town salary
South of Davis Drive is still a study, which is why he marked his own initiatives A- rather than A+. The term’s downtown changes are real and mixed: more parking and events, a tennis centre converted. He cast the rare no vote of this term, on timing, not on the funding ask itself.

Ward 6
Contested
Kelly Broome
B-$55,894.21Town salary
The Rushbrook all-way stop is a sourced ward change she forced back onto the agenda. Mulock Park is a council project that opened in the ward she claims. She grades herself A and A+. She says ward growth pushed her communications spending past the councillor budget and she paid the difference herself. That figure is not in a town expense report here.

Ward 7
Acclaimed
Christina Bisanz
C-$55,894.21Town salary
Her questionnaire names traffic safety, parking, and housing development, and promises a newsletter. No finished ward project is tied to those lines yet. She did not publish a letter-grade card in the story that ran her questionnaire.
