Don Hodgson

A practical financial voice for University-Rosedale

Don Hodgson brings a grounded, neighbour-first perspective to public life. Through his work in mortgages and finance, he has spent years listening to families, homeowners, and working professionals as they make important decisions about affordability, housing, and long-term stability.

That experience gives Don a practical understanding of the pressures people are feeling right now and why many residents want steady, thoughtful representation that focuses on everyday life, not political theatre.

Why Don is stepping forward

In speaking with supporters, Don described a simple reason for entering the race: people are talking about affordability, families are worried about day-to-day costs, and too many households are uncertain about their financial future. He wants to step up and do what he can for the city he lives in and the community he hopes to represent.

Don's experience is rooted in real conversations about grocery bills, borrowing costs, job security, housing decisions, and how families plan for the future. That is the lens he would bring to Ottawa on behalf of University-Rosedale.
