Preceded by Michael Di Biase

Linda Jackson is the mayor of Vaughan, Ontario and daughter of late mayor Lorna Jackson. Prior to her election in 2006, Jackson served as York Region Councillor from Vaughan, Ontario. She replaced Michael Di Biase after a final count was conducted.

On February 19, 2008, a Newmarket court ordered a financial audit of Jackson's election campaign finances.[1] The affidavits filed in the initial action claimed that:[2]

  • Jackson received about $7,000 in contributions from companies that may be associated with each other, therefore circumventing the $750 per-company donation limit under the Municipal Elections Act
  • Jackson's campaign under-reported the market value of the rent for her campaign office
  • Jackson's campaign filings did not include about $1,000 in individual cash and cheque contributions
