Candidates

Mayor

Michael Baldasaro: Leader of the Church of the Universe and a perenial candidate for office, running for Parliament in 1984, 2000 and 2004, Ward 2 Councillor in 2004 and Mayor for Hamilton on numerous occasions. His campaign was centered on legalization of marijuana, but he also supported demalgimation and keeping City Hall in Jackson Square. Larry Di Ianni: Incumbent Mayor of Hamilton. He was involved in a scandle involving his 2003 election campaign and was subsequently charged with violating the Municipal Elections Act. This turned many Hamiltonians against him and was sighted as one of the reasons for his defeat.

Fred Eisenberger: Former Ward 5 city councillor and Chairman of the Hamilton Port Authority. He unsucessfully ran for mayor in 2000, finishing third behind Bob Wade and Bob Morrow.

Diane Elms: An iridology practitioner who ran a reform campaign, centered around fiscal mismanagment and lack of voter participation. [http://hamiltonviews.smfforfree.com/topic/58.0.html | Diane Elms 4 Mayor -2006] She also stated that, if elected mayor, she would ask in Jesus' name, for God to forgive all those who misused their authority.

Steve Leach: An unknown candidate. The Hamilton Spectator poked fun at his lack of involvement in an editorial cartoon and commented "Steve Leach is so fringe, he's out of sight."
