Dear Ward 5 residents of Oakville,

My name is Jerome Adamo, and I am proud to share my intention to run to be your next Town Councillor for Ward 5.

I believe in doing politics differently—with honesty, accessibility, and full transparency from the very beginning. In that spirit, I want residents to know that I am currently on a temporary leave of absence from my work as an early childhood educator while awaiting an outpatient surgical procedure that has been delayed due to ongoing medical backlogs.

Because of that, I will be beginning this campaign gradually, with an early focus online and within the physical limits advised by my medical team.

I am deeply grateful to the dedicated volunteers who have already stepped forward to help build this campaign. Their support, encouragement, and hard work mean a great deal.

With May 1 marking the official start of the filing period for candidates, I wanted to share my intentions openly and without delay. While this unexpected leave has brought challenges, I am approaching both recovery and this campaign as a marathon, not a sprint.

As my health improves, I look forward to connecting with more residents, returning fully to my work with children, and earning your trust along the way.

I believe public service starts with listening, helping, and finding ways to say yes when it matters most. I hope to earn your support.

Sincerely,
Jerome Adamo
