Philip Brown back as mayor of Charlottetown
CBC
Incumbent mayor Philip Brown is back for another term, winning the election by more than 1,600 votes and sweeping the city's wards — winning all 10.
"The message I took from this is that there's a clear mandate for Philip Brown and the new council to continue on what we started in the last four years," he said.
"That's why we want to build on our success and move forward together."
Going into his second term, Brown said housing, climate change, and active transportation are the top issues he and the new council will face.
"I'm working with our sister communities, Stratford and Cornwall, but I also believe in shared services," he said. "These are priorities that I identified for the whole city … and I think that given the opportunity to provide input and to restore that decision-making authority to the office of the mayor to select the chairs and the members at large for standing committees and advisory committees is a first step."
Here are the councillors elected in the capital.
