He is the right choice for Tecumseh's future!" Tony Pupatello Jr.
"Joe Bachetti stands out as the ideal candidate for Mayor of the Municipality of Tecumseh because he consistently prioritizes the needs of local residents and a sustainable vision for growth over the interests of outside developers. As a dedicated public servant, Joe goes above and beyond to actively meet with and listen to the community. He understands that Tecumseh is a diverse, rural municipality comprised of multiple distinct settlement areas, each requiring tailored attention. Crucially, Joe recognizes that areas like Oldcastle must expand their residential options to build complete, balanced, and vibrant neighborhoods. At the same time, he remains deeply committed to protecting and preserving our invaluable primary agricultural lands. With his comprehensive understanding of the former Sandwich South Area and a proven track record of community-first leadership, Joe Bachetti is uniquely qualified to lead our municipality forward." Judy Wellwood-Robson
"I had the privilege of working with Joe when he was principal at St. Peter and I saw firsthand the kind of leader he is. He led with integrity, vision, and a genuine ability to bring out the best in the people around him. He inspired students, supported staff, and created a culture where everyone felt valued and capable of more than they thought possible. Great leadership isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about helping others find their best path forward. That’s exactly what he did in education, and it’s why I’m confident he’s ready to do the same for Tecumseh. Our town deserves thoughtful, innovative and proven leadership, and I can’t think of anyone better suited for the job." Dana Azar
