About Alex
A Different Kind of Candidate
Alex Nascimben is not a career politician. He is a master electrician who has spent decades building, powering, and maintaining the infrastructure that Vaughan families, businesses, and communities rely on every day.
For more than 20 years, Alex has dedicated his time to serving others through volunteer work, community initiatives, charitable organizations, cultural events, and public service projects throughout Vaughan and beyond.
He believes that strong communities are built by people who show up, lend a hand, and work together to solve problems. This commitment to service has included:
• SHINING THROUGH CENTRE FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM
• WAVES OF CHANGE FOR AUTISM
• HOSPICE VAUGHAN
• STRIDES FOR SENIORS
• VAUGHAN FOOD BANK
Throughout his life, Alex has worked alongside residents, community leaders, businesses, and representatives at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels.
He understands that real progress comes from listening, collaboration, and putting people ahead of politics.
Alex is not running because he wants a political career. He is running because he cares deeply about Vaughan and believes residents deserve practical, accountable leadership from someone who understands the challenges facing families, seniors, workers, and local businesses.
For decades, Alex has quietly served his community without seeking recognition. Now, he is stepping forward to bring that same commitment, experience, and dedication to public service as Vaughan's next Regional Councillor.
Vaughan deserves a representative who has spent a lifetime building communities, solving problems, and giving back.
