'''Robert Jellett''' (born c. 1960)<ref>{{cite news|title=Bumper-to-bumper commuters fed up|date=October 17, 2010|page=B3|newspaper=Ottawa Citizen|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/51921078/the-ottawa-citizen/|accessdate=May 22, 2020|archive-date=November 23, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123135256/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/51921078/the-ottawa-citizen/|url-status=live}}</ref> is a former [[Ottawa City Councillor]]. He represented the large [[Cumberland Ward]], located at the city's eastern edge from 2003 to 2010.  Jellett worked as a reporter, news anchor and Assistant News Director with local radio stations [[CKKL-FM|CFMO]] and [[CFRA]] for eighteen years.  He then became the assistant to Cumberland councillor [[Phil McNeely]] in 2000.  When McNeely was elected to the provincial legislature Jellet ran to replace him in the [[2003 Ottawa election]]. Running against Garry Lowe the main issue was the construction of an industrial [[Intensive pig farming|hog farm]] in the village of [[Sarsfield, Ontario|Sarsfield]].  Jellett was strongly opposed while Lowe supported the idea.  Jellett ended up winning by a substantial margin, however a court later ruled the city could not stop the project.  Jellett, who describes himself as a [[Red Tory]], was also forced to abandon his pledge not to raise taxes due to the difficulties surrounding the 2004 budget. Jellett served as the Chair of the city's Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee and sat on eight other city committee's and advisory boards.
