Your Voice. Your Priorities

Community Focused

Results-Driven

We’ve achieved so much together, so let’s do more

I heard you Burlington, so here’s what I’m focusing on:
  • Delivering real value for your taxes by making tough choices, because residents can’t afford City Hall’s spending. That’s why I’ve found savings and voted against the last two budgets.
  • Ensuring everyone has housing choices by advancing policies that respect neighbourhoods while opening up new places to call home across our city.
  • Moving past delays and finger-pointing that have led to gridlock by using every available tool and transportation option to improve how we get around.
  • Championing a government that works for you: strong leadership, not a “strong mayor,” with meaningful engagement and experienced decision-making that puts your priorities first.
  • Building climate resiliency that protects residents and neighbourhoods through practical, forward-looking solutions.
  • Expanding support for local businesses while attracting major employers and accelerating permits for investments that matter.
  • Strengthening community engagement by putting your voice first at City Hall, with real accountability, transparency, and effective local governance.

What the people are saying

“

As a mom of young kids, I care deeply about the kind of community they’ll grow up in. Lisa Kearns listens to families and focuses on what matters, such as great parks, accessible programs, and thoughtful growth. I’ve seen her show up and follow through. That’s why I’m choosing Lisa for mayor.

As a younger person who has grown up here, I think a lot about whether I’ll actually be able to afford to stay in Burlington in the future. Housing just feels out of reach sometimes. Lisa Kearns understands that and is pushing for smarter growth and more options. I want a mayor who actually gets what my generation is dealing with and that’s why she has my vote.

As a small business owner, I appreciate that Lisa Kearns takes the time to understand the challenges we face. She supports local businesses and works to keep our commercial areas vibrant. I’m voting for Lisa because she stands up for Burlington’s business community.

I’ve lived in Burlington a long time, and I care about how our city is growing. Lisa Kearns gets the importance of things like transit, walkability, and making sure people can stay in their homes and age comfortably in the community. She’s thoughtful, approachable, and that’s why I’m supporting her for mayor.

Community
Champion

My sense of community comes naturally. I’m someone who shows up, volunteers, connects with neighbours, and looks for ways to bring people together. Whether it’s through community updates, walking tours, pop-up meetings, or local events, I believe in being present, accessible, and responsive to the people who call Ward 2 home. I will bring this same enthusiasm and passion to the city as a whole.

I’ve been proud to support mental health advocacy, strengthen neighbourhood connections, and help make Burlington a city where people feel welcome and engaged. I care deeply about practical improvements that make a real difference in daily life, from safer public spaces and stronger public realm projects to community-led placemaking and initiatives that support residents in need.

I’ve also worked hard to support Burlington’s local economy and the small businesses that give our community its character. I believe Burlington deserves strong leadership and deep business experience. I live here. I play here. And I will continue to work harder than anyone to help ensure our community remains the best place to live, raise a family, retire, or run a business.

  • Housing Affordability – I support responsible growth and a broader mix of housing options to help address affordability in our city.
