Alexander Fischer was elected to Delta Council on October 17, 2026. The City of Delta's official count gives him 12,947 votes, third among the 20 council candidates, and the Chief Election Officer declared him elected on October 21, 2026. The North Delta Reporter reported that this was 7.78 per cent of the ballots cast for councillor, and its election night photograph shows him with mayor-elect Melissa Granum at the Delta First party in Ladner. The campaign calls him Alex Fischer; the ballot name is Alexander Fischer.
The Reporter and the Delta Optimist reported on May 11, 2026 that he had joined Delta First as its third council candidate, after Leah Bach stepped back. The Reporter described him as the founder of Delta Voices for Responsible Development, a grassroots group formed in early 2024 as Tsawwassen Voices for Responsible Development to oppose the City's new Official Community Plan, and said his work with the group included speaking at the plan's public hearing, letter-writing campaigns and petitions. In the campaign's release he said residents want growth that makes sense, infrastructure that keeps up, and a council that treats public input as more than a box to check.
On August 28, 2026 the Reporter reported on two rallies against high-density housing projects organized by members of Delta Voices for Responsible Development. He spoke at the first, on August 16 at Ladner United Church, and did not attend the second, a protest at City Hall on August 24. The group's organizers told the Reporter that the group had not endorsed any candidate, that he spoke as a resident, and that he had handed the group to another person when he decided to run for Council and was no longer involved in its day-to-day work. Granum told the Reporter the same.
By his own account, on the Delta First site, on VoteMate and in the Reporter's questionnaire, he has nearly 15 years of experience in financial services and technology, began in technology sales and business-to-business sales with Apple, studied philosophy at the University of British Columbia while vice president of the UBC Esports Association, volunteered with the Innocence Project at UBC's law school, and has worked for much of the last decade in banking, in anti-money laundering, compliance and lending. His candidate page says that through Delta Voices and wider community pressure residents helped bring about Council's rejection of a proposed high-rise development in Tsawwassen Town Centre. voche.me has not checked his work history with the employers named, and the Council decision is described here as his own account.
In the Reporter's questionnaire he named three priorities: restoring accountability and transparency at City Hall, matching responsible growth with infrastructure and services, and supporting local businesses and Delta's economy. He wrote that he would ask hard questions, press Council to explain its major decisions in public, and give residents and businesses a real chance to weigh in before decisions are made. Delta First's platform and First 90 Days plan carry the team's promises, listed on this page as the organization's.
