“Build More Homes”

“More People, More Tax Relief”

“What I can promise is to focus on the real reason taxes continue to climb, and that's because Nanaimo isn't growing its tax base nearly fast enough.”

“And while we help people struggling with addiction, homelessness and mental illness, we must also maintain reasonable standards of safety and public order in our neighbourhoods, parks and downtown.”

“When someone is suffering from severe mental illness, there needs to be meaningful intervention and appropriate care. When supportive housing is needed, it should come with the supports necessary to help people stabilize and move forward. When programs receive public funding, we should measure whether they are actually producing better outcomes.”

“We can protect what makes Nanaimo special while also building the economic foundation that allows families to prosper here. In fact, a financially strong city is better positioned to invest in parks, environmental protection, public safety, infrastructure and the services residents expect.”

“I’m running for Nanaimo City Council because I believe City Hall should get the basics right: responsible spending, strong infrastructure, safer neighbourhoods, more housing, and an environment where businesses can invest, create jobs, and grow our tax base.”

“That means protecting strategic employment lands. It means building infrastructure. It means making decisions faster. It means welcoming responsible investment instead of treating economic growth with suspicion.”

“Less Politics. More Results.”

“Growth That Pays for Growth”

“That means maintaining our roads, investing in critical infrastructure before we need it, supporting public safety, delivering reliable core services, spending tax dollars responsibly, and creating the conditions for good jobs, affordable housing, and a stronger local economy.”
