Platform

I’m running for Ward 3 because I believe residents deserve representation that is thoughtful, accessible and accountable. New Tecumseth is facing significant growth and important financial decisions, and we need to ensure that growth is responsible, infrastructure keeps pace and taxpayers receive value for their money. My priorities are responsible spending, well planned growth, maintaining our roads and infrastructure, protecting the services and community spaces residents rely on, supporting local businesses and attracting good-paying jobs. I believe good municipal government starts with listening. I will approach decisions with an open mind, ask difficult questions when necessary, consider the facts and long term financial impacts, and always remember who Council is there to serve.
