STATEMENT
We need a team of responsible leaders, committed to good government and always act in a respectful dialogue with all citizens. Three key issues are:
- Responsible Fiscal Management – to ensure balanced operating budgets, well managed capital budgets and funding long term costs such as pension and rainy day funds.
- Quality Public Schools – to maintain the reputation of our quality school system to serve the needs of our students, attract new residents, maintain property values and recruit experienced teachers and administrators to educate our children.
- Healthy Community – Now, more than ever, the health of our residents depends on leaders who put the needs of youth, adults, seniors and families ahead of party politics. I am committed to working across the aisle and with all residents from all walks of life.
