  • Myles Hosie

    President of the Brantford-Brant NDP

    “My name is Myles Hosie, and I endorse my friend Lukas Oakley as your next Brant County Councillor for Ward 2 or as it will be forever immortalized as, the Laferriere Chair.

    Brant County is changing and a young resident with fresh ideas is just what county council and Ward 2 needs.“

  • Michaela Kargus

    First Vice President of the Grand Erie Elementary Teachers Federation

    Problem solver, that is what I am looking for in a municipal councillor. Lots of people can complain about how things are run, but a good candidate will be a problem solver. That is Lukas Oakley. Lukas is a long time Paris resident and I can get behind his optimism for a vision for Brant County that includes consideration for sustainable growth, economic policies that encourage businesses to make their home here, and affordability for those growing up and retiring here.

    As a grade 8 teacher and parent to two elementary aged children, I am concerned about what the future holds for our children.

    Lukas has shown himself to be a dedicated worker, with a strong drive to help and serve others. He is dedicated to ensuring the protection of the Grand River watershed and the species that call this place home. In order to ensure Brant County is ready to face the future, we need councillors ready to prepare and creatively problem solve for what lies ahead.

    Lukas Oakley is all of these things. I look forward to having his voice on council. A vote for Lukas is a vote for a bright future in Brant County.
