Less Government-Is Better Government
Updated: 4 days ago
Why I am running for Ward 4, and what I want to change at City Hall
Windsor is a good city. It has been good to my family, and it is where I chose to stay, work, and build a life. I am running for Ward 4 City Council because I want it to stay that way for the next generation, and I do not believe that happens by accident.
I am not a career politician. I am a lifelong Ward 4 resident, a business and economics student at the University of Windsor, and I work at the Chrysler plant. I see what you see: taxes that keep climbing, streets and parks that do not get the attention they deserve, and a city hall that too often prefers announcements to finished work.
That is why my campaign comes down to one idea.
Less government is better government
At the municipal level, that is not an abstract slogan. It is a budget decision, a road that gets paved, and a permit that gets approved without a fight.
Less government means three practical things in Ward 4:
1. Your money is spent carefully. Every dollar the city spends started as a dollar someone in this ward earned. Windsor's 2026 budget held the municipal tax levy at zero per cent, and that was the right call. It is also not a permanent fix on its own. The next council has to keep that discipline year after year, not only in an election year.
2. You can see where the money goes. Before any major project is approved, residents should be able to read a clear budget for it. Transparency is not a favour the city does for you. It is the foundation of trust.
3. The city sticks to its actual job. Roads, water, snow clearing, safety, parks, and the basics families rely on every day. Get those right, and Windsor feels like a well-run city again.
What I will push for
Lower taxes and less red tape. High taxes and heavy regulation hold back families and small businesses. I will push for both to come down.
Safer streets and cleaner parks. Families should feel comfortable walking their neighbourhoods and using public spaces at any hour.
Infrastructure we already have. Fix and maintain the roads, and keep the bike trails and main corridors clean and cared for.
Local jobs and local business. Lower the cost of operating here so the businesses that hire your neighbours can grow.
Accountability. I will show up, vote on the record, and answer for it.
This seat is open, and it matters
Ward 4 has no incumbent in this race. Five candidates are running, and every one of them is asking for the same thing: your trust. I am asking for it too, and I am asking you to hold me to everything written here.
How to vote
Election Day is Monday, October 26, 2026. Polls are open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
This year you can vote at any voting place in your ward, not just one assigned location. Ward 4 voting places:
St. Angela Centre & Hall, 750 Erie Street East
Walkerville Evangelical Baptist Church, 815 Windermere Road
Windsor Chapel Central Chapel, 1700 Tecumseh Road East
Royal Canadian Legion Branch 644, 1570 Marentette Avenue
Optimist Community Centre, 1075 Ypres Avenue
Advance voting continues on October 14, 15, 17 and 19. Locations and hours for each day are on the City of Windsor's Advance Voting page.
If you are an eligible voter, the bus is free on Election Day and on advance voting days. There is no reason to stay home.
I am running because I believe Windsor can do better, and I believe it starts with a smaller, more focused, more honest city government. If that is the kind of Ward 4 you want, I would be proud to have your vote.
Vote for Xsander Moisenko, Ward 4.
