Professional Engineer
Engineering Solutions. Serving Community.
Sam Mortazavi is a Licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) with years of hands-on experience solving complex infrastructure and project challenges. He understands how cities are built, maintained, and improved, not from a textbook, but from real-world engineering practice.
Sam also has a background in legal studies, giving him a rare dual perspective on governance, municipal law, and the regulatory frameworks that shape how Newmarket grows and operates. He reads the bylaws. He reviews the engineering reports. He asks the questions that matter.
But beyond credentials, Sam is a neighbour. He has lived, worked, and volunteered in Newmarket for nearly a decade, attending community events, supporting local organizations, and listening to residents long before he decided to run for council.

Evidence-Based
Every position backed by data, analysis, and expert input, not political instinct or party loyalty.
Why I'm Running
Newmarket deserves a councillor who shows up, reads the reports, and fights for residents, not for politics.
I'm running because Newmarket has real, solvable problems that aren't being solved. Roads are deteriorating. Traffic safety concerns go unaddressed. Taxpayer money is spent without clear accountability. Residents feel unheard.
I'm not a career politician. I'm an engineer and a neighbour who is tired of watching avoidable problems get worse because the people making decisions don't have the technical background to push back on bad advice , or the community connection to understand what residents actually need.
I believe Newmarket deserves better. And I believe I have the skills, the knowledge, and the commitment to deliver it.
The problems I'm here to fix
Core Values
What I Stand For
Evidence Over Ideology
Decisions should be driven by data, engineering analysis, and expert input, not political convenience.
Radical Transparency
Every vote explained. Every dollar accounted for. Every resident kept informed.
Genuine Accountability
I will measure my own performance against concrete commitments, and publish the results.
Community First
Newmarket residents are not a constituency to manage. They are neighbours to serve.
