Questionnaire Response
Why did you decide to run in the 2014 Winnipeg Civic Election?
I have always believed that if you don't like the way things are, you should get out there and make the changes you want to see. For years I have felt frustrated watching City Hall shut Winnipeggers out of the decisions that affect them. That's why I'm running on a plan to open City Hall to the people of Winnipeg, bring back trust in our municipal government, and tackle long-term problems that have plagued Winnipeg as a result of poor planning and management.
What experience will you bring to compliment your role as Mayor?
I have many years' experience serving my community, as an activist and in government. As a provincial cabinet minister, I was able to start a very successful program that supports non-profit organizations and as an Opposition MLA, I campaigned against cuts to child care. I also had the opportunity as a federal MP to serve as both health and finance critic, which gave me the chance to influence policies that affect thousands of Canadian families. My knowledge and my ability to engage federal and provincial partners is something unique that I bring to the table in this race.
What are some issues that you would like to stand for in your role as Mayor, and why are these issues important to you?
If elected, my top priority will be to restore public trust in City Hall. The Mayor and City Councillors must be accountable to the people of Winnipeg. I will end backroom deals for a few, I will fix crumbling roads and bridges, and will bring the services Winnipeg families count on, like transit, water and snow removal, up to the standard they deserve. I will also work to create more opportunities, especially for young people, so that they can stay here to work and one day raise families of their own.
What is one thing in particular that you appreciate about the City of Winnipeg?
The people! Winnipeg is truly an amazing community. We are a generous, talented, and diverse group of people who pull together in times of crisis and celebration. I have had the opportunity to meet many great people over the last 30 years. Throughout this campaign, I have received suggestions from thoughtful, engaged people who want to help make our city better.
Do you have any other comments regarding your candidacy?
