Building our future.
Protecting what we love.
Jasmine Marshall is running to be your Ward 6 councillor in Kawartha Lakes.
Jasmine Marshall has called Kawartha Lakes home for most of her life. She grew up in Omemee, went to school in Downeyville, and returned after graduating university to build her career in the community that gave her so much.
Today, Jasmine works in real estate across the Kawarthas and volunteers with the Canadian Red Cross. Her work has reinforced something she's always believed: strong communities are built by people who show up for one another.
It's that love for Kawartha Lakes — and that belief in showing up for people — that led Jasmine to run for council.
She isn't running because she has a political career to build. She's running because the people who actually live here year-round — in Omemee, on the water, out on the concessions — deserve a councillor who would be a strong, local voice for our community.

Priorities for Kawartha Lakes
Keeping Taxes Low
The city's own plan has taxes going up 7% a year for the next decade. That's more than double the rate of inflation and hundreds of dollars more out of your family's pocket.
Jasmine will vote against any tax increase above the rate of inflation and will push for a line-by-line review of what Ward 6 actually receives for its share of the budget.
Reliable public transit
There is no public transit connecting our villages and hamlets to Lindsay or Peterborough. Seniors can't get to their appointments. Young people can't get to university or college without a car.
Jasmine will advocate for a public transportation options connecting Omemee to Lindsay and Peterborough — because your ability to get around shouldn't depend purely on whether you own a car.
Keeping our roads maintained
Poorly maintained concession roads. Intersections residents have been flagging for years. These aren't just infrastructure problems — they're your street, your kids' school route, your daily drive.
Jasmine will fight for targeted road safety improvements across Ward 6, and accountability when fixes keep getting deferred year after year.
These priorities are just the beginning.
Jasmine is going door to door across our community this summer — because the best policies come from listening first. Check back as the platform grows.
