“I’ve called Niagara Falls home for 25 years, and I can honestly say moving here was one of the best decisions I ever made. Over those years, I’ve had the opportunity to see Jim Diodati’s leadership firsthand.
Jim is dependable. He cares deeply about this city and the people who call it home. He understands both the big issues facing Niagara Falls and the everyday concerns of the people who live here.
What I respect most about Jim is that he doesn’t back down when things get difficult. He stands up for Niagara Falls, works hard to get things done, and continues to pursue every avenue he believes will make our city stronger.
That is why I’m proud to endorse Jim Diodati for another term as Mayor of Niagara Falls.
I encourage everyone to do their own research, talk with your family, friends and neighbours, and most importantly, make your voice heard on October 26.
The decisions we make today will help shape the Niagara Falls we leave to our children and grandchildren.”
I know where my X is going.
Jim Diodati has my support.

For Mayor of Niagara Falls
“Niagara Falls needs leadership that attracts investment, advances major projects and creates good jobs. Under Jim’s leadership, the city is moving forward on projects that strengthen communities and create real opportunities for skilled workers.
The South Niagara Hospital is a powerful example. This $3.6-billion project is under construction in Niagara Falls, with more than 1,200 skilled workers on site each day and over 2.6 million construction labour hours already completed. Scheduled to open in 2028, the hospital will be a lasting investment in the health and future of the region. Its construction is already delivering good jobs for the people building it.
Jim understands that investment and development mean more construction work, more labour hours and a stronger local economy. When Niagara Falls builds, our members build, and the whole community benefits.
LIUNA supports continued investment in hospitals, housing and infrastructure to keep Niagara Falls growing, building and resilient. Jim Diodati is the leader to keep Niagara Falls moving forward.”
