• Longfield was elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1997 general election. The remaining members of council chose Ross Batten to be her replacement until the 1997 municipal election.

• Ross Batten was a ward councillor in Whitby from 1980 to 1991, representing communities on the northern outskirts of town. He opposed a plan by Canada Post to designate local postal workers as contract-employees rather than full-employees in 1988, arguing that it could result in the office being shut down. During the 1988 municipal election, he was described as a forty-four-year-old computer consulting firm president. Batten was elected to a Whitby seat on the Durham Regional Council in 1991, highlighting tax controls as his main issue. He was elected for the third Whitby seat. In 1993, he was appointed to a committee that examined methods to control expenditures in light of a continental recession. He ran for re-election in 1994, and lost to Gerry Emm. He was subsequently chosen to replace Judi Longfield as councillor for Whitby's second ward in July 1997. This was a temporary appointment, and he did not run in the 1997 municipal election.
