Susan Edgett
Overall Assessment
Susan Edgett is a professionally competent second-term councillor with a genuinely impressive pre-council record of community leadership: first female president of the Moncton Rotary Club, chair of the Codiac Regional Police Authority, race director for Legs for Literacy. These are substantive, credentialed roles that reflect sustained community investment over many years.
The honest challenge in assessing Edgett is that her council tenure has not been characterized by the kind of visible initiative, policy leadership, or proactive scrutiny that her community credentials and second-term seniority would suggest. The public record shows a councillor who participates consistently and professionally in governance processes without pushing beyond baseline requirements. There is no signature initiative, no defining policy achievement, and limited evidence of the kind of probing oversight that the strongest council performers demonstrate.
This assessment may understate contributions that happen outside the public record — a genuine limitation of any external evaluation. But the evaluable evidence supports a conclusion of solid participation without visible leadership.

These scorecards were developed through deep research conducted by Claude AI. Each councillor is evaluated across six equally-weighted categories built around what defines effective civic leadership — independent of political affiliation. Category scores are derived from letter grades converted to a scale out of 100 (A = 100, A− = 93, B+ = 83, B = 75, B− = 68, C+ = 58, C = 50, D = 25). An overall score of 80 or above is rated Great; 70–79 is Good; 60–69 is Okay; below 60 is Poor.
Research draws from City of Moncton official records and official news sources. This evaluation is independently produced and is not affiliated with the City of Moncton or any political party.
Scores are updated by feeding evidence-based information to the AI algorithm, which uses it to further refine its evaluation of each category. To submit evidence that may affect a score, email info@monctonvotes.ca — all submitted evidence will be provided to the algorithm.
