Serviss (Sudbury) Kevin Serviss was born in Iroquois, Ontario, and raised in Guilletville near Sudbury. He moved to Hamilton as a young adult, and joined its Metropolitan Police Force in 1976. He returned to Sudbury in 1978 and worked for that city's police force until 1999, when he became a pastor at the city's Pentecostal Glad Tidings Tabernacle. He has also hosted a radio program on CJTK-FM, Sudbury's Christian station, and was a founder of the Elgin Street Mission and the Pregnancy Care Crisis Centre. He helped to organize a rally against same-sex marriage in 2005, and indicated that his belief in "traditional values" was a catalyst for his decision to run for office. Serviss won the Conservative Party nomination in May 2005, at a meeting that was marked by some controversy. Former Conservative Party candidate Stephen L. Butcher alleged that most Serviss supporters were not members of the Conservative Party until shortly before the meeting, and that many were members of his church. He described Serviss as a special-interest candidate, who should not have been allowed to contest the nomination. When the House of Commons of Canada granted legal sanction to same-sex marriage in June 2005, Serviss said that it was a "sad and regrettable day in Canadian history". Later, however, he indicated that he would vote "against his conscience" in support of same-sex marriage if his constituents directed him to do so. He received 10,332 votes (21.68%), finishing third against Liberal incumbent Diane Marleau. Anthony Reale (Thornhill) Reale is a real estate agent by profession, and works for RE/MAX. Reale originally lost the Conservative nomination on the first ballot to former Canadian Alliance EDA President Dan Samson, but was appointed after Mr. Samson resigned the nomination in the Fall of 2005 for personal reasons (Vaughan Weekly, January 11, 2006. pg 2). Reale was city councillor in Vaughan from 1985 to 1988. He ran for mayor in 1988, and was defeated by the then incumbent mayor Lorna Jackson. Reale has served as the returning officer for the 1999 and 2003 provincial elections in the riding of Thornhill. Reale ran against Liberal incumbent Susan Kadis, the New Democratic Party candidate Simon Strelchik, the Green Party of Canada candidate Lloyd Helferty, and the Progressive Canadian Party candidate Mark Abramowitz. Reale came second to Kadis, who won by 10,929 votes. Lewis Reford (Toronto Centre) Born in 1960 in Ottawa, Reford spent his
