The work came first

Born and raised in London. Works in concrete. Organizes tenants for free. Wants the job of fighting for Ward 2 full-time.

The worker

He builds things for a living

I am a born and raised Londoner. I currently work in concrete but have worked a wide variety of jobs in nearly every sector.

As a construction worker, I understand the importance of visiting a site before the work starts, to see for myself the things that can go wrong before they go wrong. That's how I'll treat the city's work too.

2022: He stepped aside so the city could win

In 2022 I prepared and ran to be the Ward 1 City Councillor, however I dropped out of the election due to a large influx of candidates. I interviewed each candidate and decided to support the current Ward 1 city councillor Hadleigh McAlister.

I did this because I would rather my city and fellow community members win even if that means a loss for myself.

I have spent the last 4 years speaking with the countless people that make this city run in preparation for this campaign.

The organizer

Tenants win when they organize

In my free time I am a tenant union organizer. I've gone into some of the worst apartment buildings in London, helping tenants work together to get repairs made and their rent lowered.

I am a national co-director for The Democratic Socialists of Canada, a not-for-profit (not a political party) with the goal of improving the living conditions of working class Canadians through mutual aid and tenant and labour union organizing.

I've volunteered with countless groups to help improve the lives of every Londoner, most notably ACORN, Forest City Solidarity, London Housing Coalition, and London Labour Council.

Five minutes at the mic

Zack's May Day speech, 2026. No script polish: this is how he talks to a crowd, and how he'll talk at your door.

Every month, a Really Really Free Market

I host monthly Really Really Free Markets where Londoners can give away items they no longer need or share skills with others. Come out to one and experience it yourself.

I derive a lot of joy from helping people succeed and thrive. I want to be your city councillor so that I can devote myself fully to helping everyone.

"There is no issue too big to take on and no issue too small to not care about. As your city councillor, every issue that you face is an issue I will do all I can to address." Zack Ramsey
