Lake Country Resident Priscila Brunetto Steps Forward as First Candidate for Mayor
Priscila Brunetto, 39, becomes the first candidate to announce a bid for mayor in the District of Lake Country ahead of the 2026 General Local Elections.

First Candidate Enters Mayoral Race
With the 2026 General Local Elections slightly more than a month away, the District of Lake Country has its first official contender for mayor. Priscila Brunetto, 39, declared her intent to campaign for the municipality’s top public role this coming fall.
Background and Professional Experience
A resident of Lake Country for nine years, Brunetto is a mother of three and married to a police officer, according to her biography on the district’s elections page. Professionally, she serves as a senior manager of process improvement and manufacturing, a role focused on team leadership, operational optimization, and enhancing production-floor efficiency.
“My professional background has taught me how to look at problems practically, find realistic solutions, move things forward. That’s the approach I want to bring – focused, constructive, and grounded in the everyday experience of raising a family here,” Brunetto stated.
Platform and Key Priorities
Outline priorities for her campaign center on public infrastructure, housing affordability, and local economic development. In addressing infrastructure, she emphasized creating “safer roads, improved sidewalks and more practical transportation options.”
“I’m running because I love Lake Country and want to help keep it a wonderful place to live for the next generation,” she said. “I would be honoured to earn your support and work together to make our community even better.”
