Jordan, having previously worked as a health administrator, served as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Agriculture in the Ford government. His primary opponents in this election included Liberal Rob Rainer, a former township reeve, and NDP candidate John MacRae, a federal public servant. Marlene Spruyt represented the Green Party and sought to advocate for public health as a retired family doctor.
David Motton ran for the New Blue Party, which aims to halt what it describes as “woke” activism in government. Additionally, Shane O’Neill contested the election as an Independent candidate, while Wendy Dillistone-Whitaker represented the Ontario Party, focusing on themes of freedom, family, and faith.
The voter turnout was reported to exceed 46 percent among the approximately 90,000 electors in the riding.
