Hamilton City Councillor - Hamilton East Ward
Maxine Joy Van Oosten
Hamilton City Councillor - Hamilton East Ward
Why I'm standing
I believe local government should reflect your voice and plan for the future. I've shown up with one of the best attendance records this term. I'm standing again because there's still important work to do, and I want to continue representing you with energy, accountability, and fairness.
About me
I am a current councillor and chair of the Finance and Monitoring committee, which means I have experience in governance, financial oversight and community representation. I've built relationships that give our community influence: representing Hamilton in our local government zone, collaborating with regional councillors on transport solutions and serving as one of council's representatives on the joint waters company. That matters and will allow me to keep working for you from day one.
My priorities
- Create strong financial management by keeping rates fair, being transparent and making every dollar count.
- Support investment in infrastructure, transport choices and neighbourhood safety.
- Back local initiatives that strengthen culture, community wellbeing and opportunities for all.
