Debbie Amaroso, née Jannison[1] is a Canadian politician, who was elected mayor of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in the 2010 municipal election.[2]
Career
She was the city's first elected female mayor,[2] although two female councillors, Lorena Tridico and Susan Myers, each served one month as acting mayor following the death in office of John Rowswell in August 2010.[3]
Her platform was a balanced approach to community development,[1] and her campaign slogan was "Your city, your say".[1] She previously represented Ward 5 on Sault Ste. Marie City Council from 1997 until 2006, when she ran unsuccessfully for mayor against Rowswell in the 2006 municipal election.[4]
She was defeated by Christian Provenzano in the 2014 municipal election.[5]
In April 2017, she announced that she was seeking the Ontario Liberal Party nomination for the by-election in Sault Ste. Marie. In April 2017, she was acclaimed as the Liberal candidate[6][7] but went on to lose the June 1, 2017 by-election to Progressive Conservative Ross Romano and place third.[8]
