Engaged, Resourceful & Results-Driven —

I'm ready to be your voice at Ottawa City Hall

 

  "This campaign is about community. It's about being open to ideas and listening to residents, offering realistic solutions to current issues and doing what we can to mitigate challenges that accompany rapid growth.

  Stittsville needs an active voice on City Council, someone who cares about the issues, who knows how governance, planning, and development work, and who is willing to ask tough questions."  

Priorities

Mobility: transit, roads & active transportation

FUNCTIONAL PUBLIC TRANSIT

Reviewing schedules for more reliable service and connections, and pushing to accelerate the rapid transit and missing stations we need to support intensification and to reduce automobile dependency.

 

SAFER ROADS

Prioritizing the smooth and safe flow of traffic within Stittsville and to other areas of the city. Less built-in bottlenecks, more multi-modal friendly design, greater investment in road safety.

 

ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION

Connecting and expanding our sidewalks and pathways, including more robust winter maintenance.

Money: transparency & positive investment

CITY MONEY IS YOUR MONEY

Advocating for greater transparency and accountability in city spending so you can trust council is investing wisely. Residents do not benefit from secret deals

Evaluating opportunities for efficiencies and other sources of funding before considering raising taxes.  Affordability has become a concern in all facets of life and council must remain mindful of any additional burden

Creating opportunities for meaningful engagement in the budget process. Context is key to understanding

 

ECONOMY BUILDING

Facilitating local business with streamlined administrative processes, unbundled city procurement contracts, dedicated support staff and investment in public realm

Placemaking: a beautiful city that supports easy navigation, accessible public spaces, and enriched human experience opportunities will attract visitors, business, and investment that, in turn, allows for even more economy-building growth and investment.

 

Meeting Needs: infrastructure & services

SHORT-TERM & LONG-TERM PLANNING

Reducing the time gap between new development and providing the accompanying infrastructure

Balancing needs and wants. Healthy cities go beyond the basics and invest in the resident experience: timely maintenance, shared multi-purpose community spaces, rich programming

Lobbying the province for alternative funding and service delivery models. 

Thoughts from the Campaign Trail

Why Should You Vote For Me?

Good question. If you follow city politics, or even just our local race in Stittsville, you’ve probably noticed most candidates agree that transit, infrastructure/growth management and affordability are dominant election issues.  So if candidates largely share the same ideas, ideals and policy direction, your choice might come down to which candidate can be the most effective advocate for Stittsville residents. Here are my top 3 reasons why I think that person is me, and why I am asking for your support and your vote:
