Normally true, but Waterloo isn't known for voting for the incumbent (unlike Kitchener or Cambridge).
I worked with Kelly for a few years, very pleasant individual. I had a chance to speak to her about 3 weeks ago, I sorta joked that she'd probably win the mayors race, but four years from now it would be more difficult. I guess for Kelly, win or lose, she'll have a decent job either way (either mayor of Waterloo or continue as a community centre supervisor).
(Darn autocorrect, not sure why my phone wanted that i on Jaworsky).
Perhaps not a large advantage in Waterloo, but maybe a small advantage, unless you were involved in a RIM Park debacle, in which case you had a large disadvantage. Not aware of incumbents losing otherwise in Waterloo?
