SUPPORT JACOB
BUILD HAMILTON BETTER
A City You Can Afford
Ward 8 families are working hard, but too many feel like they’re falling behind. Rising taxes, housing costs, and everyday expenses are making it harder to get ahead. Jacob ten Brinke understands that struggle personally and believes City Hall needs to refocus on what matters: responsible spending, core services, and making Hamilton affordable again for working families, seniors, and young people.
SAFER STREETS
People in Ward 8 deserve to feel safe in their own neighbourhoods.
Jacob believes in a balanced, practical approach to community safety, supporting enforcement where needed while also addressing the root causes of crime. Safety isn’t about politics; it’s about making sure families, seniors, and kids feel secure where they live.
KEEP TAXES TO THE RATE OF INFLATION
Jacob believes in ending waste and mismanagement. City Hall needs to be more responsible with its money, improving efficiency, and focusing on the services people rely on every day. Every dollar should be treated with respect because it’s your money.
HOUSING THAT WORKS
Finding a place to live shouldn’t feel out of reach.
Jacob supports practical, realistic solutions that expand housing options for families, seniors, and young people trying to get started, while ensuring growth is carried out responsibly and fits the community.
SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES
Small businesses are the backbone of Ward 8.
Jacob knows what it’s like to run a business and deal with rising costs and unnecessary red tape. He’s committed to making it easier, not harder, for local businesses to grow, hire, and succeed.
A CITY THAT LISTENS
Too many people feel like City Hall doesn’t hear them. Jacob is committed to being present, accessible, and accountable, listening to residents, showing up in the community, and making sure your voice matters in the decisions that affect your daily life.
