As one of Hamilton’s largest employers, I know how important it is to have a mayor who we can trust. Someone who says what she’ll do and does what she says. We can count on Andrea Horwath. That’s why I’m voting for her and I hope you will too.

Jo Gale, Movement Educator and owner of The Move Room

I’m a small business owner, parent and home owner in Hamilton. I’m also someone who is trying to show up as best I can for all the communities in our city. I am voting for the candidate who’s vision not only aligns with how I want to see the city grow, but also with who I think best shares my views on harm reduction, inclusion, anti-oppressive values and LGBTQIA+ rights. For me, that Mayoral candidate is Andrea Horwath.
