Endorsements for Samantha Agtarap for Port Moody Council

Over the last four years on council Samantha has consistently shown support for public safety and as such Port Moody Firefighters Local 2399 is proud to support Councillor Agtarap in the upcoming election.

Samantha’s evidence-based approach to dealing with a host of different local issues, coupled with her strong moral compass and problem-solving approach has been refreshing to see on council.

I am pleased to endorse Councillor Samantha Agtarap for re-election to Port Moody City Council.

Samantha is a thoughtful leader who values data-driven research to help navigate council discussions and ultimately council recommendations. She asks important questions and carefully considers the impact of these decisions on current and future residents of our city.

A strong advocate for public libraries, well planned community growth, and accessible transportation choices, Samantha is committed to making this a healthier, more connected community.

Port Moody greatly benefits from this type of steady leadership.

I know Samantha will continue to serve Port Moody with integrity, and she has my vote.

Samantha has a unique ability to see opportunities for financial inequality that are hurting Port Moody in a way that no other candidate or council member has ever.  She saw the challenges with BC Hydro, and their decommissioning of Burrard Thermal, and how their delayed decommissioning greatly hurts our tax base. Or, seeing how the revenues from casinos/gambling are not shared with surrounding municipalities, only the municipality that has that casino gets that revenue.  Having Samantha on council allows us to learn and see inequalities that exist in our systems and could be addressed to help ensure fairness for all, while retaining important financial sustainability in Port Moody.
