Community Focused

Results-Driven

My campaign pillars:

Preserving our Past, Ready for Tomorrow.

Burlington can welcome growth while protecting quality of life. My approach supports development that brings housing, greenspace and community benefits to the neighbourhood it serves without destroying what’s already there.

Connecting our Community.

Burlington needs a transportation network that moves people and good efficiently, improves transit and mobility, and keeps cost manageable. Now is the time to move from planning to delivery.

Supporting a Stronger Local Economy

I will advance an economic strategy that protects existing businesses and employment lands, makes investment easier, and strengthens our rural economy.

Smart Spending for Fiscal Responsibility

Affordability matters to every household. I bring municipal finance experience, corporate discipline and practical problem-solving to strengthen Burlington’s finances.

Reset at City Hall

City Hall works best when residents are at the centre of decision-making, with stronger engagement, accountability and transparency. I bring a unique mix of business and political experience to deliver a more collaborative, service-focused approach.

Safe Neighbourhoods

Safe neighbourhoods mean everyone belongs. People can enjoy our city with confidence, stay connected, and care for the spaces we share. Even one crime is one too many. It turns residents into victims and weakens the safety we all deserve.

I’m already working for you, Burlington.

Burlington is more than a place. It is a community defined by compassion, resilience and a quiet determination to look out for one another. I live here with my family for the quality of life, unique neighbourhoods, and most importantly for the people who make this city feel like home.

Long before I entered elected office, I was building teams, negotiating complex contracts and finding ways to make organizations work better. Across industries, and over 15 years, I leveraged national supply management and delivered capital projects, attracted revenue, integrated major operations and championed significant savings while managing change that affected thousands of people. Real life experience taught me that leadership isn’t about standing above people, it’s standing with them and quietly getting the work done, understanding the important details, bringing people together and delivering results.

In Burlington, I brought that same approach to serving our community. I’ve served on boards spanning healthcare, food security, culture, business, libraries and public safety, while working to build civic trust with City Hall. That’s the Burlington I’m committed to building: welcoming, responsible, compassionate and strong. My journey into civic life began with a simple belief: residents deserve to be heard before decisions are made.

That belief still drives me today.

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.

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.

Civic Advocate

Community Engagement – As Ward 2 Councillor, I’ve hosted regular in-person and virtual town halls and updates to stay connected and accessible to residents.
Fiscal Responsibility – I’ve consistently advocated for better value for Burlington taxpayers, from budget deliberations to how public dollars are spent.
Housing Affordability – I support responsible growth and a broader mix of housing options to help address affordability in our city.
Food Security – My time on the Burlington Food Bank board gave me firsthand insight into the growing need to better support our most vulnerable residents. Tackling the affordability crisis is a top priority.
