North Bay voters face a tough choice of selecting from among four mayoral hopefuls and 26 candidates for the 10 seats on city council.

And the clock is ticking down to the Oct. 22 election.

If you’re undecided, here’s an opportunity to compare candidate to candidate.

We surveyed all 30, asking them to explain, in their own words, why they chose to run for city council, what unique qualities and experiences they bring to the job, how they plan to deal with the most important issues facing North Bay and to identify council’s top priorities for the next four years.

We also asked each about taxes, council transparency, ward systems, North Bay’s strategic plan and the Baylor Report.

Links to each of their answers are provided below. We hope being able to compare candidate to candidate will help with your choices Oct. 22.
