Read the full release below:

“I started my campaign with a vision on how I could make the City of Kitchener a better place. That better place started with fiscal responsibility and transparency.

After much thought and consideration, I have decided to withdraw my candidacy for the position of Mayor of Kitchener and instead support Dan Glenn-Graham in his bid to be elected Mayor.

Following our debates and the many conversations I have had with Dan at events, I have come to realize he supports my core values of fiscal responsibility and transparency, and I am assured of his commitments to these values going forward. Further, he fully supports my commitment to provide more services to the mentally and physically disadvantaged in our City.

I am deeply honoured and humbled by the support that the residents of Kitchener have shown me since my first debate. I hope that you trust my vision further, and give your support to Dan Glenn-Graham with the same enthusiasm you have shown me.”

Dan Glenn-Graham indicated that he is pleased and humbled that Rhodes has decided to support him. Glenn-Graham said “James has a lot of great ideas and I like his approach. I hope that he continues to be actively involved in making Kitchener a great place to live”.
