Our City Needs a Strong Mayor Who Delivers

I’ve answered the call to action

People from across our community have asked me to step forward leadership for change in Waterloo. I'm deeply grateful for this strong support.

"I've spent 20 years building a company that helps cities work better, so I pay close attention to how ours is run. Good cities aren't an accident — they're the result of leadership that makes hard decisions well and follows through on them. I've watched Shannon Weber lead in this community and she does both. She listens, she does the work, and she cares about Waterloo. As someone raising a family here and building businesses here, that's the leadership I want for this city right now."

"Strong communities are built through practical leadership, sound financial management, and a commitment to opportunity for everyone. That's why I support Shannon Weber for Mayor of Waterloo. Shannon understands that tackling affordability requires more than good intentions. It requires responsible budgeting, thoughtful planning and a vision for economic growth that helps people build their lives here. Shannon has the experience, integrity and community-centered approach needed to lead Waterloo through the challenges ahead."

“What impresses me most about Shannon is her ability to connect economic realities with community priorities. She understands that every dollar invested by the city should deliver meaningful value for residents, while also creating the conditions for businesses to grow, jobs to be created, and families to thrive. Shannon has the experience to navigate economic uncertainty, the judgment to make prudent financial decisions, and the passion to unlock opportunities that will strengthen our city. Waterloo has tremendous potential, and Shannon Weber is the leader who can help us realize it.”

“I've worked with Shannon on numerous community initiatives and one thing has always stood out: her unwavering dedication to making our community better. She listens, cares and follows through. Whether helping a neighbour, supporting a local cause, or bringing people together to solve challenges, she leads with humility and purpose. At a time when strong and experienced leadership matters more than ever, Shannon has both the character and the capability to serve as Waterloo's next mayor.”

"Shannon Weber has the rare combination of economic expertise, community leadership, and a genuine commitment to Waterloo's success. Working together over the years, I saw her champion local businesses and build the partnerships needed to move important initiatives forward. She understands that a strong economy and a strong community go hand-in-hand. As Mayor, Shannon will bring the collaborative leadership and practical experience Waterloo needs to create opportunity, support local business and strengthen our city for the future."

"I've seen Shannon's dedication to Waterloo firsthand through volunteering. She cares deeply about this city and the people who call it home. As someone raising her family here, she's invested in building a future where young people can succeed, families can afford to stay, and our community continues to be a great place to live. Shannon is a thoughtful leader who listens, brings people together and will make a great Mayor."
