Jerome Adamo Announces Candidacy for Ward 5 Town Councillor
May 3, 2026
Jerome Adamo has announced his candidacy for Ward 5 Town Councillor, building on a record of public service and community leadership at both municipal and federal levels.
An early childhood educator and labour advocate, Adamo brings a people-first approach shaped by his work supporting families and workers. Having previously stepped forward as a federal candidate, he remains actively engaged in local initiatives and advocacy.
“I’ve always believed leadership starts with stepping up,” said Adamo. “Whether at the federal level or here at home in Oakville, my focus has been on giving people a voice and delivering real solutions.”
Adamo’s campaign is grounded in four pillars: community growth, safety, service, and a forward-looking vision.
“Oakville is an incredible place to live—but it’s time to move beyond the idea that ‘fun goes to hide’ here,” he said. “We should be a place where people can truly live, work, and play. Most importantly, our children deserve a hometown they can be proud of—one where they can grow, play, and build lifelong memories.”
Currently on temporary medical leave, Adamo is working within limited capacity while awaiting an outpatient procedure.
“I’m balancing my responsibility as a community and labour leader with my immediate healthcare needs and respect for my employer. I’m grateful for their support as I work to return to my classroom—and to my community. I am approaching this as a marathon, not a sprint.”
As Oakville grows, Adamo emphasizes building not just housing, but a connected, vibrant community—places where people can go, grow, and feel at home.
“Thank you to my team for stepping up. This campaign is about people. During a court case in 2000, a judge defined a municipality as ‘a democratic institution through which the people of a community embark upon and structure a life together’.”
“And that’s what we are building here in Ward 5 and in Oakville—a life together. In time, I hope you will say yes to me so I can say yes for you.”
