“I am seeking re-election this term because there are still things I want to accomplish,” Pinsonneault said of running in Ward 3 East Kent. “I have always been a strong voice at the council table and I believe I have the mutual respect of my fellow council members which goes a long way to getting things accomplished.”
Noting he is the only incumbent running in East Kent, Pinsonneault said experience is necessary when you are dealing with a $300-million budget.
“My track record shows that I have always been fiscally responsible and I believe I have good leadership qualities,” he added. “I’ve been successful in business for over 20 years and, in my opinion, council needs a business common-sense approach to running the budget.”
He said infrastructure is his No. 1 concern this term with roads being the main concern with the goal of ensuring money is in the budget to get necessary repairs done.
Pinsonneault said the ambulance service is another concern, noting with an aging community the right amount of staff and ambulances are needed.
