Why I'm Running

Welland is at an important point in its future.  

We Need a City that Works for People

The decisions made today about growth, infrastructure, taxes and city services will shape our community for years to come. I will help Welland make better decisions.

✔ Engagement. The people who live here know their neighbourhoods best. I believe residents should be informed early, heard respectfully and kept updated throughout important decisions. Good engagement builds better decisions.

✔ Responsible Growth. Growth should create opportunities while protecting what makes Welland a great place to live. Good planning means considering the environment, infrastructure, neighbourhoods and taxpayers before decisions are made.

✔ Respect for Taxpayers. Every dollar matters. Before supporting major spending its necessary to ask: 

• Is it needed?

• Is it affordable?

• Does it improve life for residents?

✔ Strong Representation for Ward 5.  Ward 5 is unique. It includes established neighbourhoods, growing communities and rural areas. Having lived in both the urban and rural parts of Ward 5, I understand that different parts of our ward have different priorities.

I don't believe being a councillor is about politics.

I believe it's about service.
