About the Candidate

Meet Jeff Patterson

Rooted in this community. Disciplined about your tax dollars. Committed to being your voice at the table.

The Story

39 years in Ward 2 — and every reason to fight for it.

For 39 years, Ward 2 in Adjala-Tosorontio Township has been Jeff's home. It's where he and his wife raised their family, and where he built a career and a lifetime of community connections.

Born and raised just down the road in Orangeville, Jeff chose to build his life here. Like many residents of Ward 2, he understands and appreciates the values that make rural Ontario such a special place to live — hard work, fiscal responsibility, neighbour helping neighbour, and protecting the land that supports our agricultural community.

Today, Jeff is asking for your support to serve as your Councillor for Ward 2. His commitment is simple: to listen first, understand the issues that matter to you, and ensure your voice is heard when important decisions are made.
