Local Media Coverage of Mike Cluett Campaign

A Milton man who came close to securing a seat on council in the last municipal election is hoping the second time’s a charm.

Mike Cluett, who was only 93 votes shy of unseating long-time Councillor Brian Penman in 2006, has filed to run for councillor in the newly-created Ward 6 this fall.

The local blogger said he’s throwing his hat back in the ring because he feels town council needs to refocus its priorities.

“I think the Town is spending a lot of money without focusing on infrastructure and roads,” he said. “There seems to be a disconnect when it comes to issues relating to the growth in town and the concerns of the population.”

Cluett, a father of two and a sales consultant for a payment processing company, has lived in Milton since 2003.

He served on Milton’s 150th anniversary committee and has also been active in the community by working with residents on safety issues like residential speeding, parking and stop signs.

Ward 6 is framed by Derry, Thompson and Britannia roads and Fourth Line.
