IELECT Hamilton is a grassroots, volunteer-run organization comprised of Hamiltonians from across the city that launched officially on May 22, 2021 with a full page advertisement in the Hamilton Spectator.
We’re a registered not-for-profit organization. We have three Directors – Graham Crawford, Ryan Moran and Craig Burley.
We’re a team-based organization with Standing Committees in Communications, Research, Volunteer Coordination, Media Relations, Fundraising, Website. We also have hundreds of volunteers.
We have no party affiliation, will not be running a slate of candidates, nor will we be endorsing any candidates in the next municipal election.
We are funded entirely by individual donations from members of the public.
Our Vision is:
New leadership for a better Hamilton.
We believe it’s time for change around the Council table. We believe long-tenured Councillors have had more than enough time to demonstrate their capabilities. We believe there is a citywide appetite for change given the number of scandals, poor decisions, lacklustre results, and a resistance for real change by our leaders.
