1. Fred Eisenberger: Mayor; The City of Hamilton

Fred Eisenberger

By Martinus Geleynse, Publisher, urbanicity

The current Mayor of Hamilton, Fred Eisenberger is positioned influentially. That aside, however, the two-time Mayor of Hamilton has become an influential individual even outside of his current office. As a three-term City Councillor in Ward 5, and then as the Chair of the Hamilton Port Authority, Eisenberger has long been a fixture in the administration of this city. Eisenberger squeaked out a narrow victory in 2006 by only 452 votes, and went on to govern a tremendously difficult term as Mayor, confronting many political landmines including restoration of The Lister Block and the great stadium debate. He was unceremoniously dumped from office in 2010, but swept back into power in 2014, after a campaign carried by his widespread public support and personal popularity. Now, not even a year into his new term as Mayor, a reinvigorated Eisenberger has achieved a series of successes, including securing full funding for LRT and dropping the City’s lawsuit against the federal government stemming from the construction of the Red Hill Valley Parkway. With another three years remaining in his term, Eisenberger’s influence is rising, buoyed by high public approval and his strong results at City Hall.
