Federal MP Mona Fortier Endorses Rawlson King for Ottawa City Council

OTTAWA, August 14, 2026 — Mona Fortier, Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Vanier-Gloucester, today announced her endorsement of Rawlson King in the 2026 Ottawa municipal election.

"Rawlson King has consistently demonstrated the kind of thoughtful, dedicated leadership our communities deserve. His deep roots in Ottawa, his commitment to residents, and his ability to bridge issues ranging from housing and transit to economic development make him exactly the kind of city councillor we need. I am proud to support him."

— MP Mona Fortier

King, who currently serves as a City Councillor for the City of Ottawa, has built a reputation as a communicative, accessible, and forward-thinking representative.

MP Fortier highlighted King's approach to community engagement as a particular strength.

"Rawlson listens. He doesn't just show up at election time. He is present, he is engaged, and he delivers results for the people he serves."

— MP Mona Fortier

Ottawa-Vanier-Gloucester is a diverse, dynamic constituency that spans vibrant francophone, anglophone, and newcomer communities. Fortier noted that King's record reflects the values and priorities of those communities: inclusion, opportunity, and responsible, transparent governance.

"The City of Ottawa faces real challenges: affordability, infrastructure, and building a city that works for everyone. Rawlson King has the experience, the integrity, and the vision to meet those challenges head-on."

— MP Mona Fortier

Rawlson King thanked MP Fortier for her endorsement and reaffirmed his commitment to residents.

"I am honoured to have Mona's support. She has been a tireless advocate for our region at the federal level, and I look forward to continuing to work together to deliver results for Ottawa families."
