Meet Adam

My name is Adam Cooper, and I’m proud to have served as your City Councillor for the past four years.

Four years ago I promised to fight for you no matter what level of gov’t I had to go to. I kept that promise.

During my first term, I have brought forward and supported initiatives addressing issues that directly affect Cambridge residents. These include my Long-Term Care motion, advocating for seniors and families to be treated with dignity; the Catch and Release motion, responding to concerns from local businesses and residents about repeat offenders; the McQueen Shaver Safety Zone motion, addressing dangerous speeding and street racing; the Veterans Crosswalk motion, recognizing the service and sacrifice of our veterans; and the Rent Protection motion, seeking greater protection for renters.

I have also successfully advocated for truck traffic diversions, got the McQueen-Shaver sound wall approved, and taken Cambridge’s concerns directly to Regional Council. I have also advanced the Main Street closure initiative to strengthen our downtown and tourism potential.

These aren’t simply campaign promises, they are examples of just some of the work undertaken during my time in office.

I have also demonstrated that I am willing to take on difficult issues such as encampments and failed drug policies. I am willing to challenge decisions when I believe they are not in the best interests of residents. I don’t believe in governing according to ideology or social trends. I believe in listening to residents, considering the facts, using common sense, and standing up for what I believe is right for Cambridge.

I also believe elected officials need to be willing to have uncomfortable conversations. Political theatre and virtue signalling do not solve problems. Common-sense policies, responsible debate and actually getting things done do.

I have, and will continue to give you a common sense voice in a world where common sense is a dwindling commodity. So if you are dealing with real word problems and need real world common sense solutions without the ideologies, without the political theatre and self-serving grandstanding then you know who to vote for.
I am a fighter. I will continue to fight for you no matter the cost, no matter the topic. It’s what I do. I will not stop.

I’ve achieved a lot in the last four years but I’m not even close to being done.

So join me. Let’s continue to implement my promise of four years ago to make a better, safer, more prosperous and enjoyable Cambridge.
