For Jacob, leadership has always meant putting service before self, showing up, taking responsibility, and putting the community first.

​

Jacob believes in this community. He believes in the people who live here. And he believes that with the right leadership, Hamilton can be safer, more affordable, and a better place to call home.

​

For Homeowners

If you own a home in Ward 8, you’ve likely felt the pressure, rising property taxes, concerns about neighbourhood safety, and frustration with city services that don’t always deliver.

​

Jacob understands that your home is more than just property; it’s your investment, your stability, and your future.

​

He’s focused on:

• Keeping property taxes under the Rate of Inflation

• Improving basic city services like road maintenance, snow clearing, and infrastructure

• Strengthening neighbourhood safety so families feel secure

• Protecting property values by ensuring smart, responsible development

​​

Jacob believes homeowners deserve a city that respects their investment and delivers real value.

​

For Renters

If you’re renting, you know how tough things have become. Costs keep rising, options feel limited, and it can be hard to plan for the future.

​

Jacob has been there—he knows what it’s like to struggle with affordability and housing uncertainty.

​

He’s focused on:

• Supporting more housing options so renters have real choices

• Encouraging responsible development that increases supply without overwhelming communities

• Pushing for fair, practical solutions that protect renters while keeping the system balanced

• Making sure the city is part of the solution, not part of the problem

​​

Jacob believes everyone deserves a safe, stable place to live and a fair shot at getting ahead.

​

For Business Owners

Running a business in Hamilton isn’t easy. Costs are high, regulations can be frustrating, and it often feels like you’re on your own. Jacob gets it; he’s built and run a consultancy himself.

​

He’s focused on:

• Cutting unnecessary red tape that slows businesses down

• Making city processes faster, simpler, and more predictable

• Keeping taxes and fees reasonable so businesses can grow and hire

• Supporting local businesses as the backbone of our community

​​

Jacob believes businesses shouldn’t have to fight City Hall just to succeed.

​

For Families

Families across Hamilton are feeling stretched between rising costs, safety concerns, and the challenge of building a better future.  Jacob grew up in that reality.

​

He’s focused on:

• Keeping costs under control so families can breathe

• Safer streets and stronger communities

• Reliable city services that make daily life easier

• Creating a community where hard work actually leads somewhere

​​

Jacob believes families deserve a city that works as hard as they do.

​

For Seniors

Seniors built this community, and they deserve to feel safe, respected, and supported.

​

Jacob is focused on:

• Keeping neighbourhoods safe and accessible

• Ensuring property taxes and living costs remain manageable

• Supporting services that allow seniors to stay in their homes longer

• Making sure City Hall listens to and respects their needs

​​

Jacob believes seniors deserve dignity, security, and peace of mind.

​

For Young People

If you’re trying to get started, find housing, build a career, or just get ahead, it can feel like the system isn’t working for you. Jacob understands that frustration.

​

He’s focused on:

• Creating more opportunities to live and work in Hamilton

• Supporting housing options that are actually attainable

• Building a community where young people can stay, grow, and succeed

• Making sure your voice is heard in shaping the future of this city

Jacob believes the next generation deserves real opportunity, not just promises.
