20/25

Of the remaining Councillors significant

analysis is needed

We believe these councillors are not reasonably deafatable

Wilkinson, Qadri*, Hume*, Chiarelli*, Desroches, Harder*, El-Chantiry*, Bloess

* = won with nearly 70% or more of vote in 2006

Potentially Beatable?

Monette*, McRae, Jellet*, Brooks


21/25

4 vacant seats and 4 Councillors who

are beatable (minus Jellet) Wards to Targethttp://www.ottawa.ca/city_hall/elections/nominat ions/index_en.html

Vacant:

Kanata South, Rideau-Rockliffe, knoxdale-merivale, Capital

3 to Replace

Orleans River Rideau-Goulbourn


22/25

Who are the progressive replacements?

Wards to Target (names who OO has contemplated)

Kanata South=Aaron Helleman

Rideau-Rockliffe= Sheila Perry

Capital = Bob BrocklebankOrleans= Jennifer Robitaille

River= Nadia Willard

Rideau-Goulbourn= Bruce Webster

Knoxdale-Merivale= It appears as though all potential candidates inthis ward will be better alternatives than the previousrepresentative

Red= Candidates to strategically support


23/25

Note: There are other progressives

running

OO is choosing specific Wards to Target based on the likelihoodof victory

There are others running against councillors who wed like toreplace, but we need to strategically concentrate resources andassess vote-splitting and incumbent dominance

There are some wards we are targetting that have two or three

viable options, but the names we listed in red have been proven,community advocates for many years and are most likely to hava chance at victory
