Jay Aissa is back.

After being handily defeated in the 2014 election, the owner of Jay Fencing in Waterloo is hoping for a seat at the head of the horseshoe at Region of Waterloo council chambers.

Aissa officially submitted his paperwork on Thursday, the day before the nomination deadline.

In 2014, Aissa ran on a platform of stopping the LRT construction, gaining some support, but ultimately losing to current Regional Chair Ken Seiling.
