"I believe our region needs responsible investment, strategic development, and experienced leadership. Public dollars should be allocated to projects that generate long-term value, not just short-term headlines. Growth must be thoughtful, balanced, and driven by the voices of our communities. Most importantly, leadership requires more than ambition or votes; it demands experience, accountability, and the courage to do what’s right. I’ve spent my career bringing people together, making tough decisions, and navigating complex systems. I will lead with integrity, empathy, and a deep respect for every voice in our region."
Responsible Investment
Public dollars should be invested in projects that bring long-term value to our region.
That means prioritizing infrastructure, programs, and partnerships that create jobs, improve services, and enhance quality of life. I will advocate for a fair distribution of municipal funding across the entire region, not just urban centers, and support investments that reflect what residents truly need, not just what looks good on paper. Just because we can build it big doesn’t mean we have to.
Strategic Development
Growth is necessary, but it must be thoughtful, balanced, and community-led. I support development that respects our environment, honours our history and maintains the character of our region. That includes continuing to improve on our land use bylaws, area development plans, municipal development plans and ensuring these plans are cohesive and moving towards the same regional. I would advocate for protecting green spaces and ensuring new builds include affordable and accessible options.
We don’t need to say “yes” to every project; we need to say “yes” to the right projects.
Experienced Leadership
Leadership require more than ambition and votes; it requires experience, accountability, and a commitment to doing what’s right. Our region needs leaders who have a demonstrated ability to bring people together, make tough decisions, and navigate complex systems. I believe principled leadership means leading with integrity, empathy, and purpose. It’s about listening to residents, standing up for what’s right even when it’s unpopular, and making decisions that reflect the long-term interests of our communities. I will bring a proven track record of leadership built on results, collaboration, and a deep respect for every voice in our region.
