Why I’m running
Why Lori is running for Mayor
Niagara Falls needs leadership that puts residents first. That means responsible spending, honest debate, and decisions driven by the needs of the people who actually live, work, and raise families here.
Lori Lococo · August 20, 2026
After eight years as a City Councillor, Lori is asking Niagara Falls for the chance to lead. Her case is a record of asking difficult questions, scrutinizing major decisions, and standing up for residents and taxpayers when their interests were not being heard.

Our New Niagara
What a City Hall that listens actually looks like
Six commitments, each drawn from what Lori has already voted for, moved, and argued for at the Council table.
01
Residents first
Decisions driven by the needs of the people who live, work and raise families in Niagara Falls — not interests based outside it.
02
Responsible spending
A record of voting against unaffordable tax increases, zero-based budgeting, and reviewing master plans to control spending.
03
Transparency & accountability
Open public discussion of Region governance, more frequent Council meetings, and town halls for residents.
04
Respect at the table
A council culture where different perspectives are welcomed rather than dismissed.
05
Housing & homelessness
Alternate housing options, inclusionary zoning, a vacancy tax report, and reinstating the Homelessness Committee.
06
Accessibility for everyone
Accessible campaign materials, subtitled video, and site controls for contrast, grayscale and font size — as pledged.
