Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
Mission has always been home to me. I was born and raised here, and I’ve spent much of my life giving back to the community that has given so much to me and my family.
I believe being a councillor means listening, being accessible, and remembering who you work for. I’m not afraid to ask difficult questions or speak up when something doesn’t feel right.
My priorities are responsible spending, strong essential services, safer neighbourhoods, infrastructure and recreation, inclusion, and greater transparency and accountability at City Hall.
I’m seeking a third term because I care deeply about Mission, its people, and its future. There is still work to do, and I would be honoured to continue serving the community I’ve always called home.
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
I want to keep being an independent voice at City Hall, asking questions, watching how taxpayers’ money is spent, protecting the essential services we rely on, and making sure residents are heard.
I’m running for another term because Mission is my home, and I still have more to give to this community. After eight years on Council, I know the job, I understand the challenges we face, and I believe experience matters as Mission continues to grow.
I want to keep being an independent voice at City Hall, asking questions, watching how taxpayers’ money is spent, protecting the essential services we rely on, and making sure residents are heard.
I’ve spent most of my life giving back to Mission, long before I was elected. For me, this has never just been about politics. It’s about serving the community that raised me and that my family and I call home.
There is still work to do, and I’m not finished working for Mission.
