Thank you, Hamilton.

While the result wasn’t what we had hoped for, I am incredibly proud of the campaign we ran and grateful for the thousands of Hamiltonians who believed in our vision for a better city.

To our incredible volunteers, supporters and everyone who gave their time, encouragement and trust — thank you. None of this would have been possible without you.

It has been an honour to meet so many wonderful people and fight for the city I love.

Congratulations to Keanin Loomis on his election as Mayor. I wish him every success as he takes on this important responsibility.

My commitment to Hamilton and its future remains as strong as ever.

Thank you for believing in me.

Dziękuję, Kaz! 🇵🇱🇨🇦

I am deeply grateful to my longtime friend, Kazimierz Chrapka, for his kind words and endorsement in the Polish community newspaper.

Kaz has known me for over 20 years, and his words about my integrity, professionalism, and vision for Hamilton mean a great deal to me.

Hamilton’s Polish community has made tremendous contributions to our city’s history, culture, and prosperity. I am honoured to have Kaz’s friendship, trust, and support as we work together to build a stronger Hamilton.

Razem dla lepszego Hamilton!

Serdecznie dziękuję za wsparcie!

Hamilton’s manufacturing sector is vital to our economy.

I visited Orlick Industries and met with General Manager Grant Panchyson to discuss local manufacturing and the challenges facing the industry.

Protecting good-paying jobs and attracting investment are key to Hamilton’s future.

Proud to have the endorsement of Sergeant Peter Wiesner, who has served Hamilton for over 22 years.

As Mayor, I’ll support our police, strengthen crime prevention and work to make Hamilton the safest city in Ontario.

Thank you, Peter, for your service and support!

Promises Made. Promises Kept. ✅

When I was elected to City Council, I promised to listen, work hard and deliver results.

In just over a year, I’ve demonstrated what can be accomplished with determination, accountability and a commitment to getting things done.

I’ve fought for results in Ward 8. Now, I’m ready to deliver results for all of Hamilton.

Leadership That Delivers Results.

Vote Rob Cooper for Mayor on October 26.

Great to join Councillor Matt Francis for the ceremonial puck drop at the Stoney Creek Tigers’ home opener!

Wishing the players, coaches and entire organization a successful Senior AAA hockey season.

Honoured to receive former Hamilton Mayor Bob Bratina’s endorsement.

On CHCH News, Bob highlighted my experience at Stelco and McMaster, my financial background and the need for change at City Hall.

Thank you, Bob, for your confidence and support.

Hamilton families can’t afford another four years of rising taxes.

Horwath’s record: 23% higher property taxes.

Loomis: No clear commitment to limit increases.

My commitment: End property tax increases exceeding inflation.

It’s time to put taxpayers first.

Great meeting Mark McGinty of McGinty Toman Electric and Yasser Majd, owner of 555 Construction Management, at a student housing project in Westdale.

We discussed the challenges facing local builders and the need to reduce costly construction delays.

Supporting local trades and getting more housing built must be priorities.

[Rob Cooper for Mayor @VoteRobCooper]

Hamilton taxpayers deserve a clear plan.

My commitments:

✓ End tax increases exceeding inflation.
✓ Eliminate the Rain Tax.
✓ Repeal the Vacant Unit Tax.

It’s time for fiscal responsibility and accountability at City Hall.

On October 26, vote Rob Cooper.

A good conversation with CEO Sue Phillips and Mindy Tweedle from the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) about the mental health, addiction and homelessness challenges facing Hamilton.

Addressing these issues means getting to the root causes and ensuring people have access to the treatment, care and support they need.

Thank you for taking the time to meet and share your insights.

Hamilton has a serious public safety problem.

Gangs, guns, drugs and violent crime are putting our communities at risk.

As Mayor, I’ll prioritize tougher enforcement, crime prevention and safer schools.

My goal is clear: make Hamilton the safest city in Ontario.

$8 million for 40 tiny shelters without kitchens or bathrooms. Another $4.05 million annually to operate them.

Hamilton deserves compassionate solutions that deliver results, not unchecked spending.

As Mayor, I’ll demand accountability and better value for taxpayers.

Thank you to Mauro, owner of Bohemian Beirut, for his support!

Our local businesses deserve a City Hall that helps them succeed.

As Mayor, I’ll work to make Hamilton a place where businesses can grow, create jobs and thrive.

Hamilton manufacturer Sobotec has completed over 10,000 projects since its founding in 1988.

I met with President Checo Sobot to discuss their operations and the challenges facing manufacturers, including U.S. tariffs and rising costs.

We must protect local jobs and support Hamilton’s manufacturing sector.
