Committed to Vaughan, Dedicated to Community
A lifelong public servant with deep roots in Vaughan, Mario G. Racco has spent decades working to support residents, strengthen neighbourhoods, and deliver results that matter.
First elected to Council in 1982, Mario built a reputation for being accessible, responsive, and focused on the everyday concerns of families and seniors. He later served as the Member of Provincial Parliament for Thornhill, where he brought a local perspective to provincial decision-making and advocated for safer communities and stronger public services.
Today, as a Local and Regional Councillor, Mario continues to represent residents at both the city and regional level, ensuring Vaughan has a strong voice on key issues like infrastructure, public safety, and quality of life. His approach is simple: listen first, act with integrity, and follow through.
With a background in accounting and decades of experience in public service, Mario brings both practical knowledge and a steady hand to Council, always focused on what’s best for the community he calls home.
A Record of Listening.

Mario’s Platform
Listening to the People
Strong communities start with listening. Mario works directly with residents, brings their concerns to City Hall, and follows through with action on neighbourhood issues, traffic, development and local priorities.
Respecting Your Tax Dollars
Mario supported a 0% increase on Vaughan’s share of property taxes while advocating for responsible spending. His focus is protecting essential services and ensuring every tax dollar is spent wisely.
Community Safety
Everyone deserves to feel safe. Mario supported increased funding for York Regional Police and worked with the City and YRP to address illegal car rallies and protect neighbourhoods.
Better Coordinated Construction
Growth shouldn’t mean unnecessary gridlock. Mario has pushed for better coordination of road closures and infrastructure projects to reduce traffic, delays and disruption.
Responsible Growth
Mario supports well-planned growth that respects existing neighbourhoods, protects community character, and ensures infrastructure and services keep pace with development.
Values
Driven by integrity, accountability, and a deep commitment to community, this approach to public service focuses on listening to residents, addressing local needs, and putting Vaughan families first through thoughtful, experienced leadership.
