In separate recent reports, the ethics watchdog concluded councillors Brad Bradford and Frances Nunziata breached council's code of conduct when they improperly used constituent emails for campaign purposes.Posted: Jul 23, 2024 12:42 PM EDT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago
In both cases, constituent email addresses obtained through the work of the councillors' respective offices ended up on campaign mailing lists — a practice explicitly prohibited by provisions in the code of conduct. Bradford attributed the ethics breach to a former employee who had volunteered for his campaign team, though the councillor declined to name the person in question. Batty later learned it was Bradford's former chief of staff who had uploaded the email addresses to a campaign database.
Bradford said he accepts Batty's recommendation of a reprimand, which amounts to a public denouncement of his actions by city council. , who represents York South-Weston and serves as council speaker, in relation to the 2022 municipal election. Nunziata won re-election by just 94 votes. While Batty said Nunziata only learned of the transfer from his investigation, she is "responsible for what her staff do on her behalf."
