Delta First welcomes Alex Fischer to its council slate for Delta’s municipal election, focusing on transparency, growth, and community trust.
Delta First Expands Its Team for Fall Election
Delta First has added a fresh face to its municipal election team. Alex Fischer has officially joined the slate ahead of the October vote. Meanwhile, the group already includes mayoral candidate Melissa Granum and council hopefuls Jat Puri and Tammy Hansen. In addition, former participant Leah Bach remains connected to the group, although she will not run this cycle due to personal reasons.
A New Voice Joins the Slate
First of all, Delta First says Fischer brings strong community experience. Over the past two years, he has worked closely with residents. Specifically, he focused on development concerns, the Official Community Plan, infrastructure needs, transparency, and local decision-making.
Moreover, the team describes him as a steady community advocate. As a result, they believe he will help strengthen their message around accountability and livability.
Leadership Talks About Trust and Growth
Meanwhile, mayoral candidate Melissa Granum welcomed Fischer to the group. She said he listens carefully and takes action. Furthermore, she stressed that Delta First aims to keep neighbourhoods livable while planning responsibly for growth.
In addition, Granum pointed out that the team wants stronger accountability at city hall. Therefore, she believes Fischer fits well with their goals.
Fischer Focuses on Residents First
On the other hand, Fischer said his decision came from what he heard in the community. Over time, he spoke with residents who feel unheard by local government. Consequently, he decided to step forward.
“I want to restore trust and real public input,” he said. Moreover, he added that residents want growth that makes sense, not rushed change. In the same way, he emphasized the need for better infrastructure and real engagement.
Campaign Goals Take Shape
Looking ahead, Fischer plans to focus on a few key priorities. First, he wants responsible development. Next, he aims to improve public engagement. After that, he will push for stronger transparency at city hall.
Additionally, he says he will work to protect Delta’s quality of life. For example, he wants growth that matches services and infrastructure. Therefore, he believes planning must stay balanced and practical.

- protecting neighbourhood character while planning growth

- improving transparency at city hall
- strengthening community engagement
- ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with development
Overall, the slate says it wants a more connected and responsive local government. As a result, the team plans to focus heavily on public trust and balanced growth as the election approaches.
