*John Starkey was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, spent part of his childhood in Hamilton, and moved to Brantford in 1967. He studied History and Philosophy at McMaster University before taking a job in Brantford. He became politically active in the late 1960s, supporting Progressive Conservative Party of Canada leader Robert Stanfield in 1968. Starkey continued to define himself as a Red Tory into the 2000s.〔Ross Marowits, "Brantford city council -- mayoralty: John Starkey wants to take on a bigger role," ''Brantford Expositor'', 8 November 2000, D3.〕 Unlike some other Red Tories, he joined the Conservative Party of Canada after its establishment in 2003.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Harper gets earful from frustrated city politicians," ''Brantford Expositor'', 30 July 2005, p. 2.〕 He is a veteran municipal politician.

He was later elected for the city's fifth ward in 2003 and served three years before standing down again. He also ran for mayor in 1994 and 2000, losing both times.〔Starkey also stood for mayor in 1987, after Dave Neumann's resignation. Neumann's replacement was chosen by city council; Starkey lost to Karen George. See Ross Marowits, "Starkey enters race for mayor: Veteran councillor says city on the move," ''Brantford Expositor'', 25 August 2000, A1.〕 After his first departure from council, he wrote a municipal affairs column for the ''Brantford Expositor''. He was a prominent opponent of Brantford's casino plan in the late 1990s, and noted the irony that he was both the sole Progressive Conservative on council and the strongest critic of Progressive Conservative Mike Harris's right-wing provincial government.〔"A voice that should be heard," ''Brantford Expositor'', 15 April 1999, A6; Ross Marowits, "Brantford city council -- mayoralty: John Starkey wants to take on a bigger role," ''Brantford Expositor'', 8 November 2000, D3.〕 He accused city hall of "corruption" after the 2000 campaign, charging that two of his properties were targeted for political reasons by the city's property standards commission.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "City hall gag bid is killed: 'We've driven a stake through its heart'," ''Brantford Expositor'', 7 October 2003, A7.〕 While campaigning in 2003, he called for Laurier Brantford to be transformed from a regional campus to a permanent university.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Seven candidates running in Ward 5," ''Brantford Expositor'', 4 November 2003, C7.〕 Starkey was fifty-seven years old in 2010 and was working as a college instructor in business; in this campaign, he called for defending the integrity of established neighbourhoods.〔(Michael-Allan Marion, "Refreshed Starkey taking another run at council," ) ''Brantford Expositor'', accessed 3 November 2010.〕

*Richard Carpenter began working as a letter carrier for Canada Post in 1974 and still held this position into the 2000s. He served on the Brantford Public Utilities Commission from 1991 to 1994 and was its chair in 1993.〔Ross Marowits, "Diverse Ward 4 is a mirror of old and new Brantford," ''Brantford Expositor'', 20 October 2000, A9; "Brantford city council -- Ward 4," ''Brantford Expositor'', 8 November 2000, D8.〕 Carpenter was first elected to the Brantford city council in the 1994 municipal election and was re-elected in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2010, finishing at the head of the polls each time. In his time in office, he has developed a reputation as both a strong constituency worker and a combative politician.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Wide range of residents in Ward 4," ''Brantford Expositor'', 4 November 2003, C6; Tim Philp, "Council's interim report cards," ''Brantford Expositor'', 9 January 2006, A9.〕 In 1996, he spearheaded a motion to rename a municipal parkway after legendary ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky, who was born in Brantford.〔Gare Joyce, "Gretzky still welcome in Brantford," ''Globe and Mail'', 12 October 1996, A20.〕 He warned against a shift to private utility ownership in 2001, after the city quietly eliminated the Brantford Hydro-Electric Commission; later, he welcomed a court decision that prevented the government of Ontario from selling a part of Ontario Hydro.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Former PUC dies quiet death," ''Brantford Expositor'', 28 March 2001, A3; Michael-Allan Marion, "Court decision hailed by area politicians," ''Brantford Expositor'', 20 April 2002, A1.〕 In 2002, he supported Marguerite Ceschi-Smith's campaign to restore municipal brownfield space.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Facing a fearful legacy: Series," ''Brantford Expositor'', 17 August 2002, A1.〕 He introduced a motion in 2003 that would have required the municipal government to hold a referendum before raising taxes; the motion was defeated.〔Susan Gamble, "Council stays out of Tory politics," ''Brantford Expositor'', 4 June 2003, A6.〕 Carpenter considered seeking the Ontario Liberal Party nomination for Brant in the 1999 provincial election, but ultimately did not do so.〔Dan McCreary, "Tories set to top Grits," ''Brantford Expositor'', 18 January 1999, A3.〕 He sought the Liberal Party of Canada nomination for the federal Brant division in the 2004 election, but lost to Lloyd St. Amand.〔"Ceschi-Smith to kick off her Liberal campaign," ''Brantford Expositor'', 27 February 2004, A3; Michael-Allan Marion, "St. Amand gets nod: More than 1,400 attend meeting," ''Brantford Expositor'', 1 April 2004, A1.〕
*Dave Wrobel has taught construction and carpentry at Mohawk College and worked as an accident benefits claims representative.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Wide range of residents in Ward 4," ''Brantford Expositor'', 4 November 2003, C6.〕 Considered to be on the right wing of the political spectrum, he was a member of the Reform Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance before winning election himself.〔Dan McCreary, "Council shifts to right," ''Brantford Expositor'', 20 November 2003, A3.〕 He first ran for Brantford City Council in the 1997 municipal election; thirty-one years old during the campaign, he finished a relatively close third.〔"Wrobel tries again for Ward 4 seat," ''Brantford Expositor'', 9 September 2000, A6.〕 He was elected in his second attempt in 2000; in this campaign, he called for Brantford casino revenues to be put in a reserve to reduce taxes and opposed using public funds to save private buildings.〔Cheryl Bauslaugh, "Ward 4 hopefuls bash BSAR," ''Brantford Expositor'', 19 October 2000, A3; Ross Marowits, "Diverse Ward 4 is a mirror of old and new Brantford," ''Brantford Expositor'', 20 October 2000, A9.〕 After the election, he emerged as a frequent opponent of Mayor Chris Friel and a regular ally of his ward-mate Richard Carpenter.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Ins and outs of city hall," ''Brantford Expositor'', 31 January 2002, A6; Michael-Allan Marion, "Race is on for city council seats," ''Brantford Expositor'', 11 January 2003, A3.〕 In 2002, he offered support to Marguerite Ceschi-Smith's campaign for reclaiming brownfield sites.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Facing a fearful legacy," ''Brantford Expositor'', 17 August 2002, A1.〕 Wrobel supported Progressive Conservative candidate Alayne Sokoloski in the 2003 provincial election.〔Michael-Allan Marion, "Tory off and running," ''Brantford Expositor'', 28 May 2003, A3.〕 He was himself re-elected in the 2003 municipal election.
