Reid Hamer-Jackson elected mayor of Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — He came in with no political experience, but it didn’t matter to the Kamloops electorate who have voted Reid Hamer-Jackson into the mayor’s chair at city hall.
“That’s why I’m running because too many people in this room have come up to me, long before they ever thought I was running for mayor, were saying ‘We’re moving out of town,'” Hamer-Jackson told the crowd of supporters at Mt. Paul Golf Course. “But I’ve been dealing with this for 12 years and really strong over the last four years.”
Hamer-Jackson led from the beginning when the advanced results rolled in around 8:30 and didn’t look back.
