I'm running for a second term as mayor, focused on responsible planning, infrastructure renewal, community well-being, and long-term financial sustainability.
I believe in this community, in what we can accomplish, and in the work still ahead. I'm proud of what Council and I have achieved, and I'd be grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as your mayor.
Positions
Six plain answers to the questions Armstrong residents ask most.
Planning does not create the cost; it reveals it so we can manage it responsibly.
The least responsible option is waiting until something fails.
I support thoughtful growth that fits Armstrong, not growth at any cost.
Every major decision should be measured by long-term value for Armstrong residents.
Affordability means making practical decisions that protect services without waste.
Residents deserve reliable services today and responsible planning for tomorrow.
In the community
I believe there's no substitute for a personal connection. I first called Armstrong home in the 1980s and graduated from Pleasant Valley Secondary School. I loved this community so much that when I retired in 2018, I came back to make it home again.
Record
Council and I have focused on responsible planning, infrastructure renewal, community well-being, and long-term financial sustainability.
“Lasting change takes time, and a second term would allow me to keep building a stronger, more modern city government that is better prepared, better organized, and better equipped for the future. I am asking for your support so we can keep moving forward together.”
— Joe Cramer
How we talk to each other
I believe the best conversations about Armstrong's future happen face to face — at the door, over coffee, at the market — not in anonymous back-and-forths on social media.
