Two city-wide priorities, and how to achieve them

• Make life more affordable: use city-owned land for non-profit, supportive and co-op housing, review every department’s budget to curb third-party consulting costs and study a non-profit municipally operated grocery store.
• Smart, green economic growth: pair infrastructure renewal with sustainable commercial development using a triple-bottom-line test, and say no to heavy incentives for industrial proposals that miss climate goals.

Two changes to improve City services

• A “dig once” coordination office so roads and utilities are scheduled together instead of repaving then tearing up streets.
• Modernize 3-1-1 with a track-my-request model, citing Toronto’s real-time updates and Brampton’s automated work-order integration.

Two changes to improve quality of life in Hamilton

• Overhaul recreation registration with a cloud-based booking system, staggered regional releases and a transparent lottery for high-demand programs.
• Fully fund and accelerate the first phase of HSR Next and reverse the delay to 2027.

Two priorities for Ward 1

• Responsiveness and engagement: regular town halls across Ward 1 and a real-time digital 3-1-1; he cites communication gaps on Aberdeen Avenue.
• Protect neighbourhood culture and the local economy: supportive housing on city-owned land, stronger tenant protections and a minimum-notice standard and relief for small businesses before LRT construction.

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

Accessible, collaborative, productive.
