Deborah Fisher - Candidate for Hamilton City Council

Just to let you know there is an up coming postal by-election for Hamilton City Council’s East Ward and I will be standing for this position.

The By-election was prompted by the passing of Councillor Philip Yeung.

My Candidate Profile Statement

I was raised and still live in Fairview Downs with my husband and 3 children and have represented Fairview Downs Residents and Owners Association in dealings with Council for the last 4 years.
I have learnt that interacting with Council can be confusing and want to represent the ordinary citizens who often feel they have little say in decisions.
I am opposed to the Garden Place revamp and am concerned that city growth is being funded by existing areas through reduced spending in our neighborhoods.
I prefer to make informed decisions regardless of topic and will research and read information before committing to a course of action.
I have a strong sense of justice and if elected will put the needs and desires of residents first.
