Honoured to attend the 5th Annual Jumpstart Regatta at the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club. Congratulations to Commodore Chris McCormack and everyone who helped raise more than $450,000 over five years to give more kids the opportunity to play sports.

Experience matters.

The Mayor has significant authority over housing, taxes, the budget, and senior leadership. These decisions affect every Hamiltonian.

Managing a multi-billion-dollar city requires proven leadership—not on-the-job training.

Hamilton City Council is losing a true leader.

Councillor Jeff Beattie had a unique ability to bridge the divide and bring people together every single day. I wish him great success in his next chapter.

As a CPA with an MBA, I believe every budget should be built on facts, measurable results, and accountability - not assumptions.

Hamilton taxpayers deserve a City Hall that knows where every dollar is going, measures performance, and delivers value for money.

HATS proposed 25 tiny shelters just 50m from Kelly Oucharek’s house and 17m from neighbors in Ward 2.
They were told it was happening. No consultation.
This is why she’s running for Ward 2 Councillor.

We've all heard that you can't fight City Hall. But recently, Ward 3 has proven that by standing together, we can drive real, on-the-ground change in our community. If you're ready for a fresh, hands-on approach to leadership, vote Selman this October.

Three elderly ladies in Ward 2 had encampments almost touching their backyard — fires, noise, garbage & theft while sleeping.
Called Ward 2 office 20 times. No response.
One call from Kelly and help arrived.
This is why she’s running.

[Andrew Selman @AndrewCSelman]

18 months ago I warned City Hall their lack of due diligence on this project would result in massive cost overruns and lawsuits.

Today this project has gone more than 300% over budget, and lawsuits have been launched

Where's the accountability #hamont

How many of you have hugged Dimitri?
He lives in a nest of garbage on Queen Street. Kelly Oucharek stops her car to talk with him and keeps his gifts.
"Advocating for safe spaces doesn’t mean you hate homeless people."
