2014 Winnipeg Civic Election

Why did you decide to run in the 2014 Winnipeg Civic Election?

I felt that it was time for a truly independent candidate to be an option for voters free of business, personal or special interests. (Other than the residents of the ward of course!)

What experience will you bring to compliment your role as Councillor?

To the role I can bring my 13 years of experience in municipal infrastructure product sales, design and project management. I can also apply my goal setting and accountability ethics learned over the course of my entire 20 year career in sales and management.

What are some issues that you would like to stand for in your role as Councillor, and why are these issues important to you?

Fiscal responsibility is a main one as it applies to almost everything we do in city operations. Communication is major as well as that has been identified as a point of contention for the residents so far during the campaign. I would also like to see a sensible, cost-effective solution to our transit issues developed. On a local level, looking at our community amenities in the ward to see where improvements can be made for community centres, active transportation options and even dog parks.

What is one thing in particular that you appreciate about the ward you wish to represent?

It feels like home. That's because I have lived here my whole life.

Do you have any other comments regarding your candidacy?

I am hoping that the voters look at all the candidates closely and decide based on fact and feel as opposed to partisan politics. Also, I am hoping that everyone gets out and votes and if you know someone that isn't, convince them too!
