Two city-wide priorities, and how to achieve them

• AI data centre governance, which he describes as mainly a policy task where he brings experience.
• Homelessness: draws on his background in social housing, governance and addictions, and points to a working model in St. Thomas and Elgin County that Hamilton could adapt with local partners.

Two changes to improve City services

• Adopt the City’s proposed “one team” approach to integrated departmental communications to reduce duplication and speed up responses to service requests.
• Implement more digital tools and dashboards for transparency and accountability.

Two changes to improve quality of life in Hamilton

• Increase access to community spaces for seniors and young families, especially in Ward 13.
• Get more community support workers out to help people dealing with homelessness and addiction reach supports and services.

Two priorities for Ward 13

• Ward office availability: a guaranteed minimum of 12 weekly in-person hours for himself or ward staff and a response to every inquiry within 72 hours.
• Infrastructure: ensure Ward 13, which he says has more roads than any other ward, gets its fair share of new provincial funding; prioritize repair, with some money set aside for road-safety projects such as traffic calming.

Three words for a four-year term (looking back from September 2030)

Accessible, competent, compassionate.
