Municipal Election – Vote Aaron Patella, For Mayor November 2, 2025

Together. Clarity. Accountability.

I am running for mayor with a simple conviction: our community thrives when decisions are clear, honest, and built around the real needs of residents. Good governance means clear communication and decisions that respond to real needs. My commitment is to focus on substance over symbols, building trust through actions that matter.

My strength lies in seeing the big picture, imagining new solutions, and acting decisively to make them real. As a entrepreneur, teacher and researcher, I have learned how to make complex ideas clear and to give others the tools they need to succeed. As your mayor, I want to do the same for our village: explain clearly, build responsibly, and create an environment where everyone can contribute.

Rigor and accountability are fundamental values for me. My vision of sound governance is based on integrity, honesty, and responsibility. My commitment is to deliver concrete results: to structure and organize decisions, ensure responsible financial management, and build citizen trust through clear and measurable actions.

Small towns often appear quiet on the surface, but beneath that calm lies a constant balance between care and capacity. In places like North Hatley, governance isn’t abstract — it’s personal. Each decision touches familiar faces, familiar streets, and the shared...

The Courage to Simplify

Academics — myself included — sometimes hide behind complexity. We dress ideas in dense language, not always out of pride, but often out of insecurity. Complexity can feel comforting; it creates distance and gives the illusion of control. The same is true in...
