, criticizing the then-governing provincial Liberals’ engagement in fundraisers where tickets sold for thousands of dollarsHorizon Ottawa’s Sam Hersh said the organization is targeting the practice, not necessarily the person, in the case of this fundraiser. While Horizon has endorsed Sutcliffe’s rival, Catherine McKenney , and is campaigning in support of their election, Hersh said Horizon’s response would have been the same had McKenney held an event like this one.
Founded in 2020 as a “progressive, municipal-focused grassroots organization,” Hersh said a big part of what Horizon Ottawa does is push where it sees a need for reform such as “lowering campaign contributions, making elections more democratic and transparent and taking big money out of politics.” “I’ve worked very, very hard in this community. And I have a long track record as someone who tells it like it is and makes decisions based on the evidence and based on what’s right for the community.”Article content
“They’re going after business leaders and community leaders where there is no conflict of interest. They are simply people who care about the future of Ottawa and want to support a political candidate who shares their vision,” he said, In addition to election rules, Sutcliffe confirmed that Saturday’s fundraiser aligned with a self-imposed rule he’s set for contributions to his campaign, which lives on his website: that donations from the owners and executives of development companies and unions as well as their family members, won’t be accepted, to ensure there’s no real or perceived conflict of interest.Article content
