Dear Friends,

My name is Linda Qin, and I have had the privilege of serving our community as a Public School Board Trustee for the past eight years. I am now running to be your Windsor City Councillor for Ward 1 because I want to continue serving our community and do even more for the people who call Windsor home.

During my eight years as a School Board Trustee, I have worked hard to stand up for parents, students, and our community. Speaking up has not always been easy — I have faced significant challenges, including being sanctioned by the Board, but I never gave up on standing up for what I believe is right.

Now, I believe it is time to bring that same determination, courage, and commitment to Windsor City Council.

My professional experience has also prepared me to serve. I have taught management and administration courses as a business school professor, and I bring practical management experience and a strong belief in accountability, responsible decision-making, and effective public service.

I believe Ward 1 residents deserve a strong and independent voice at City Hall — responsible spending, better municipal services, safe roads and neighbourhoods, responsible development, and practical, compassionate solutions to homelessness.

Most importantly, residents deserve a councillor who will listen, communicate openly, and have the courage to speak up when their interests are at stake.

Throughout this campaign, I will continue knocking on doors and speaking directly with residents. I want to hear what matters to you — not only during an election, but throughout my service.

I will listen. I will care. And I will stand up for you.

I would be honoured to earn your trust, your support, and your vote.
