Welcome To My Campaign

My name is Kory Read, and I’m running for Member of Parliament for St. Catharines because I believe our city deserves leadership that truly listens to and works for its people. For too long, our community has been overlooked, with critical issues left unaddressed by Chris Bittle who was suppose to represent us. It’s time for a change—a change that puts our St. Caharines, our values, and our future first.

I have seen firsthand how the concerns of ours have been ignored. Our current representative, Chris Bittle, has had years to make a difference, but what has he really done? Instead of offering meaningful support, he’s focused more on maintaining his image than on addressing the real challenges we need. From a lack of action on important issues like unemployment and our local workforce to a failure to respond to the needs of our most vulnerable citizens, Chris Bittle’s track record speaks for itself.

It’s also clear that the big three parties have thrived on our division by using distraction, their intent has always been to keep us focused on fighting among ourselves rather than working together for real solutions. Now, suddenly, as the election approaches, they are now wishing to address our concerns and make promises. Don’t be fooled—their efforts will once again fade away once the election is over, only to be rehashed as new campaign promises in the next cycle.

That’s why I’m running on a platform of direct democracy. I believe in empowering you, the residents of St. Catharines, to have a greater voice, a voice that matters in the decisions that affect our lives. Instead of being sidelined, you’ll be at the center of the conversation, helping shape the policies and initiatives that matter most to our community.

My commitment is to work tirelessly for you, to be accessible, and to ensure that our community’s needs are not just acknowledged but acted upon. Whether it’s improving local infrastructure, supporting better schools, or fostering a more inclusive and vibrant community, my focus is on real solutions that benefit all of us.

Join me in this journey to bring about the change St. Catharines needs. Together, we can build a stronger, more united community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Let’s move forward with leadership that puts people first and reclaims our power from the divisions of traditional politics.
