Meet Alex
I’m Alex Ballagh, a proud Hamiltonian, seasoned project manager, and committed community builder. With deep roots in public service and grassroots organizing, I’ve spent my career bridging strategy and compassion to deliver results that matter.
- Master of Medical Science & Project Management Professional (PMP) certified
- Experienced in research, logistics, operations, and cross-sector collaboration
- Former lab manager, research liaison, and national program coordinator
As a volunteer and organizer, I’ve led city-wide initiatives, including concerts, policy roundtables, and grassroots campaigns. I’ve helped amplify marginalized voices, strengthen housing advocacy, and challenge outdated systems from the ground up.
- Lead organizer for 2023 "Here's to Hamilton!" Fundraiser Concert with LTtheMonk and Harrison Kennedy, raising $25,000 in a single evening.
- Chair of Election Planning Committee since 2023
- Volunteer mentor and community service organizer across Hamilton
My campaign is rooted in **action, not talk** focused on the real issues facing Ward 8: affordability, housing, transit, and climate justice. I know how to get results because I’ve done it before: in research labs, in boardrooms, and on doorsteps across the city.
- Proven track record of improving systems, cutting waste, and scaling solutions
- Strategic thinker grounded in empathy and lived experience
- Ready to build a Hamilton that works for everyone
