I WANT TO SUBMIT A QUESTION

Steve Pellegrini has been a strong and experienced voice for local families and a true partner that has unlocked unprecedented investment in the Township. Under Steve's leadership, Ontario and King collaborated to open the Zancor Centre, build a second Southlake Hospital, and fund broadband, road, and infrastructure improvements across the Township. He has been a energetic champion for King, with deep family roots in the community. I am proud to endorse Steve Pellegrini for Mayor — trusted experience and steady leadership we need to move us forward through these uncertain times.

As an active volunteer with several local organizations, I have seen first-hand that Steve consistently shows up to support community events, celebrate local achievements and lend a helping hand whenever it’s needed.

From seniors to young families, Steve Pellegrini leads for all of King. He brings years of experience, sits on many boards and committees across York Region, and is always present in our community. He listens, and he works hard to make a difference for residents. He is committed to keeping King an age-friendly community, to supporting our local businesses, and to promoting the many organizations that make our Township strong. He is caring and approachable, and he has my full support for re-election.

Mayor Pellegrini has been a tremendous advocate and supporter of our Nobleton Neighborhood Watch program. His commitment to community safety and his belief in the power of residents, police, and community leaders working together have helped make our program one of the largest in Ontario. We are grateful for his tremendous leadership, encouragement, and unwavering support in bringing our community and policing together to build a safer, stronger, and more connected community.

It is with tremendous respect and enthusiasm that I write this letter in support of Mayor Steve Pellegrini and his re-election as Mayor of King Township. I have lived in King for more than 40 years, and in all that time, I can sincerely say that I have never seen a mayor work as hard, care as deeply, or be as involved in our community as Steve Pellegrini. Steve is everywhere. He attends community functions, supports local businesses and their openings, participates in events throughout the Township, and continually makes himself available to the people he represents. His commitment is not something you simply hear about—you see it firsthand. He genuinely shows up for this community. What impresses me most, however, is that beyond being an exceptional mayor, Steve is an exceptional human being. He has a wonderful heart, a beautiful soul, and a genuine concern for the people of King. His dedication does not feel political—it feels personal. He truly cares about this community and the people who call it home. In my more than four decades living in King, I can confidently say that Steve Pellegrini is the finest mayor I have ever seen serve our community. His energy, accessibility, work ethic, leadership, and love for King are extraordinary. In fact, I have often said that Steve could run for Mayor of Toronto and, in my opinion, would make an outstanding mayor there as well. That is how highly I regard his leadership and his ability to serve people. King Township is extremely fortunate to have someone of his calibre representing us. Words are difficult to find when you have this much respect for someone. Steve Pellegrini has given so much of himself to King Township, and his commitment to our residents deserves to be recognized. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation support Steve Pellegrini for re-election as Mayor of King Township. I believe our community is better because of his leadership, and I sincerely hope he has the opportunity to continue the tremendous work he has been doing for the people of King. Steve, thank you for everything you do. King Township is fortunate to have you. With my highest respect and strongest endorsement.

Mayor Steve Pellegrini and the Mayor’s Office of King Township have been exceptional partners to work with throughout this past term. The Mayor’s hands-on approach to addressing issues—both large and small—has been of tremendous value to the residents he serves. His accessibility, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to the community have fostered confidence and delivered meaningful results. Mayor Pellegrini has a unique ability to bring together diverse stakeholders, build consensus, and create solutions that result in mutually beneficial outcomes. His collaborative leadership style has strengthened relationships across the public and private sectors while continuing to move King Township forward. I have had the privilege of working alongside Mayor Pellegrini and have witnessed firsthand his dedication to the long-term success of our community. I look forward to continuing to work with him and his office to build upon the significant progress that has already been made and, most importantly, to continue striving for excellence in everything we do. King Township has benefited greatly from Mayor Pellegrini’s leadership, and I am confident he will continue to serve the community with the same integrity, vision, and commitment in the years ahead.

I am proud to endorse the re-election of Steve Pellegrini as Mayor of King Township as I know that he works always with the motivation of making King the best place to live and work. I know this well as I have served with the Mayor on Council since 2010. Steve has shown strong leadership as the head of Council, ensuring our six councillors work together when confronted with very difficult and complex issues. For many of these issues there were no simple answers and often councillors had very different opinions. Steve works hard to keep up to date on the pulse of the community and is ready to make modifications to past plans when there are new challenges or when unexpected opportunities appear. There are important complex decisions ahead which will have lasting impacts on King residents and businesses. Not only does Steve know King’s residents and businesses well, but he also knows the interdependencies with other jurisdictions and organizations. While many of these issues originate far from our control, including environment, economy and provincial legislation, we need strategic and pragmatic actions to mitigate the risk and to exploit opportunities to the benefit of King. Given this critical time, it is important to re-elect Steve Pellegrini so that we have the benefit of his leadership and his experience.

— Debbie Schaefer, King Township Ward 5 Councillor

Knowing Steve for over twenty years, we have one very important thing in common: we LOVE King Township. In a world of rapid change, that is not what King needs right now. What we need is someone who understands our community, listens to its people, and truly cares about its future. Steve has a proven track record of listening to people, caring about their concerns, and showing up at every event he can. He is always supporting the community groups and volunteers of King, working effectively with Township staff, and generally going the extra mile to help King remain the desirable place to live that it is. Many people take for granted how fortunate we are to have a leader with such common sense, a strong work ethic, and genuine integrity. I wholeheartedly support Steve Pellegrini for Mayor and know he will continue to be a dedicated, approachable, and community-minded leader for our Township.

— Cheryl Fisher - Schomberg Resident
I have seen firsthand the importance of strong, steady leadership in our community. Mayor Steve Pellegrini is approachable, honourable, and genuinely cares about the people and future of King Township. His commitment to responsible growth, community values, and preserving what makes King special is clear. Steve is a leader who listens, shows up, and works hard for the people he represents. King Township is fortunate to have him as Mayor.

— Michael Mazzotta - Armour Heights Developments
Over the years I've watched Mayor Pellegrini lead King Township with consistency and follow-through. He doesn't just propose projects — he sees them through to completion, and that reliability matters for a community that's growing as quickly as ours. He's accessible, he listens to residents, and he brings a steady, practical approach to the decisions facing this township. As King continues to grow, we need leadership that can manage that growth responsibly, and that's exactly what Steve has provided. I'm supporting him because he's earned it, and because I trust him to keep doing the job well."

— Bill Takhar, Resident in Nobleton
As a property owner in King, I respect solid leadership that is decisive and results-driven. Mayor Steve Pellegrini has demonstrated that he is that kind of leader. He is a man of principle and integrity who understands the importance of protecting what makes King Township special while ensuring the community is positioned for a strong and prosperous future. Steve listens, he acts, and he stands behind this community. He has earned my respect and my support. —

He has tremendous experience and knows how to build positive relationships with politicians at the Regional, Provincial and Federal level. He also values his members of council, thus creating a highly effective and functional municipal government. He is one of those rare politicians who is doing it for all the right reasons. He is truly committed to serving our residents and you always know that he tries to do things in the best interests of King Township.
