Voters in LaSalle have tabbed Mike Seguin as the town's newest councillor.
Seguin received 1,197 votes, according to the unofficial results released by the town.
Online voting for the fall byelection closed at 8 p.m. on Monday.
Seguin is a former superintendent for the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board.
Prior to the election, Seguin outlined fiscal prudence and increased active living activities as some of his top priorities.
Seguin said he and his team went door knocking early into the campaign.
"I had a pretty good sense of where this was going to go as far as the issues, and I think that was very helpful talking to people. I did that in my job as a superintendent. Talked to a lot of people and you generally will find that you can come to better solutions on issues with meet people face to face," Seguin said.
Seguin said he heard loud and clear what voters were focused on.
"The number one and two priorities are the spending that's occurring, and also what the taxation level is. That's what people are most concerned about, so that's what I'd be focused on first and foremost," he said.
Seguin said he'll be bringing to council experience in dealing with multi-million dollar budgets.
"When you're dealing with multi-millions of dollars, you've really got to look at where the spending is to find efficiencies, and that's what we did in my school board work. Particularly when you look at the operations aspect of what the work looks like, and where you can trim and reduce costs, while still maintaining the appropriate services for the town," said Seguin.
Earlier this year, council voted in favour of a byelection to fill the seat vacated after councillor Sue Desjarlais passed away in April.
The online election was disrupted due to a Canada Post strike that meant voters had to pick up their Voter Information Letter (VIL) in person.
PINs contained in each letter were required to cast an online ballot.
Seguin will serve on council for about a year before Ontario holds municipal elections in Oct. 2026.
The town is expecting to hold the swearing-in for the newest councillor on Oct. 28.
