Connecting Hearts and Helping Hands

Building a better future through shared responsibility

As your candidate for City Council in Ward 8, I bring over 30 years of experience working closely with our community. My track record of engagement with young people, seniors, and the business sector sets me apart. I believe that effective leadership starts with listening. I am committed to building strong connections with each of you, ensuring that your voices and concerns are at the heart of our campaign.

My approach is rooted in four core action items: Organization, Information, Education, and Equity. The city budget is a crucial aspect of our community’s well-being. With a total budget of $21 billion and actual expenses of only $4-5 billion, we must address how these remaining funds are allocated. I am committed to transparency and accountability in budget management, advocating for efficient use of resources to ensure that our roads and public services improve.
