Lum dominating Chilliwack mayoral race results with over 80% of the vote

The mayoral race was overshadowed by unusual attacks lobbied against Lum by Rosini, who claimed that her opponent backed multiple property tax increases since Lum was first elected in 2011. Rosini campaigned on a platform of cutting property taxes.

Lum responded to the attacks by acknowledging that property taxes have increased over the years, but explained why he stands by his votes.

“I’m also not going to pretend taxes haven’t increased – they have, and I voted for those budgets. Those decisions included significant increases in policing, fire protection, and infrastructure,” Lum told Fraser Valley Today. “Anyone promising both lower taxes and more services should be prepared to show residents the numbers and explain how they’ll deliver it.”
