Someone is making an issue of Brad Clark's rheumatoid arthritis on the campaign trail, the mayoral candidate says. And he held a media conference Friday morning to let everyone know he's OK.
Clark said his campaign team has received persistent calls saying that door knockers in "many corners of the city" are saying his arthritis will hinder his ability to be mayor.
The campaigns for challengers Brian McHattie and Fred Eisenberger say none of their teams have made it an issue.
Clark says his rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is in remission because of a drug called Humira. And he expects it will remain in remission for many more years. Even if it doesn't, he can come to work, as he has before.
"The reason we decided to make this known so everybody has the same information is because someone out there is peddling information that's incorrect," he said at his Stoney Creek office Friday.
"We don't really know the sources, but we're getting it from many corners of the city that my RA is much worse and that I can't do the job because of it, which is really, really…it's profoundly disappointing. Thousands of people go to work every day with arthritis."
The campaigns for mayoral challengers say Clark's health is a non-issue.
"It's obvious that Brad's health is not an issue in this campaign," Eisenberger's campaign said in a statement.
"As far as Fred is concerned, it's never been an issue. He's focused on the real issues of the campaign."
McHattie is also focused on winning the race based on his track record, campaign manager Paul Mason said.
"He's not about to use Brad's personal health challenges as an issue in this campaign. We're not part of this negative narrative. We wish Mr. Clark continued good health."
The municipal election is Oct. 27.
Here's what else is happening on the campaign trail, as mentioned on Twitter:
