Gordon easily wins 4-way mayoralty race in Midland

'That’s extremely humbling,' says newly elected Midland mayor

Midland has a new mayor and deputy mayor for the next four years of the council term.

Unofficial results for the 2022 municipal election are in, with Bill Gordon becoming the newly elected mayor of Midland with 2,467 of a total 5,089 votes cast.

For deputy mayor, Jack Contin was elected with 2,817 of 5,076 votes cast.

A majority of candidates for the mayoral, deputy mayoral, and council races were gathered at Cellarman’s Pub – as well as many supporters – all of whom were heard cheering as the results were revealed.

“I didn’t get around to as many doors as I wanted,” admitted Gordon of the 8,061 households and 14,292 eligible voters with Midland each candidate could have reached.

Unofficial election results are available on the election page of the Town of Midland website.

Of note, election results entered on election night are unofficial. Election results are declared official by the town clerk as soon as possible following voting day.
