Voters in Ward 5 will also elect a new city councillor, with appointee Russ Powers currently serving out the remainder of Chad Collins term, after Collins was elected Liberal MP for Hamilton-East/Stoney Creek in last year’s federal election.

“I have served three terms, that’s 12 years”, says Partridge, “and I still believe in term limits.”

Partridge adds that she got into municipal politics, because “I knew this town of Waterdown and Flamborough, where I have lived for 35 years, needed to have someone who was qualified to be able to manage the development.”

She lists handling of growth-related challenges among her accomplishments, including new roads and road improvements, including approval of the Waterdown Bypass, and a new police and fire station for Waterdown.
