Paull seeks another term as Quesnel mayor, citing unfinished projects

QUESNEL – Quesnel Mayor Ron Paull is seeking another term as mayor, saying several major projects remain that he wants to see through before stepping away from public service.

The longtime municipal politician has launched his re-election campaign with a message centred on experience, continuity and what he describes as unfinished business.

Among his top priorities is helping lead the city’s 100th anniversary celebrations in 2028. Paull says the milestone is particularly meaningful to him because of his long history with the community.

According to Paull, his connection to Quesnel stretches back decades to when the community was still a town. Over the years, he has helped organize major anniversary celebrations, including milestone events that marked important chapters in the community’s history.

Now, with the city’s centennial approaching during the next council term, Paull says he would like the opportunity to help guide those celebrations and contribute to what is expected to be a significant event for the community.

Another major priority for the incumbent mayor is the long-discussed Quesnel Interconnector project. The project has been a topic of discussion for years, and Paull says he remains committed to seeing it become a reality.

He believes the project could gain momentum with a change in government and says he is optimistic about its prospects. Paull argues that the Interconnector remains an important piece of infrastructure and wants to continue advocating for its development.

Paull says several other initiatives are underway that he hopes to help complete. While he has not outlined those projects in detail, he says they are part of the reason he has decided to seek another term.

Paull’s campaign slogan reflects that motivation.

Running under the banner “OMG,” the mayor says the acronym does not stand for the familiar expression “Oh My God.” Instead, it stands for “One More Go.”
