Dawn Dankofor Ward 8
Safety · Affordability · Accountability
A strong local voice to build a Hamilton we're proud to call home — for children, families and seniors.
I live, work, and I'm raising my family here
I've called Ward 8 home for over 20 years. I live, work, and I'm raising my family here, and I want Hamilton to be a place my children want to choose for their future.
With decades of professional experience in health care, policy, higher education, governance, and quality, my commitment is to work with you and our communities to build the city we want for children, families, and seniors — a Hamilton we are proud to call home.
I'm running to serve Ward 8 as we need a strong local voice that will lead to achieve our priorities: safe and vibrant communities, affordable taxes and housing, well-maintained roads, better traffic and transit, and a City Hall that is accountable to you.
This is a community campaign — and I need your help!
There are many ways you can help get the message out. It only takes a few hours, a few dollars, and/or a lawn sign. Choose how you'll help get Dawn Danko elected as our Ward 8 City Councillor.
