A stronger Wilmot starts with council that does its homework.
I'm running for Ward 4 Councillor because I believe good decisions come from asking the right questions before a vote, not after.
Council makes decisions that shape daily life in Wilmot, and residents deserve to understand how and why those decisions get made. That means reviewing the evidence, listening before deciding, and being clear about the reasoning behind my votes.
I don't think residents expect council to get everything right. They expect council to show its work, explain its reasoning, and be accountable for the outcome. That's the standard I'll bring to council as your Ward 4 Councillor.
My Approach
-
Asking the Right Questions
Wilmot deserves council that goes beyond rubber-stamping decisions. I dig into the details before I take a position, not after. My independent review of six years of police data before the CCTV vote is one example of that.
-
Transparent Decision-making
Residents shouldn’t have to piece together why their councillor supported or opposed something. I’ll explain the reasoning behind my decisions clearly, including the trade-offs and evidence that shaped them.
-
Showing Up
A councillor’s job doesn’t stop at the council chambers. I want to be someone residents can actually reach, at the door, around the community, or with a quick reply to an email. Ward 4 shouldn’t have to wait for an election to be heard.
My Priorities
-
Meaningful Public Input
I want residents involved while decisions are still open, not just informed once they’re final. That means asking earlier, making the choices and trade-offs clear, and being willing to change direction when the public raises a better argument.
-
Growth We Can Support
Wilmot is going to grow, and I support growth that makes sense for our community. That means planning for the roads, water, recreation, and services that come with it, while being careful about where development goes and how much farmland we’re willing to give up along the way.
-
Getting Value for Tax Dollars
Residents should expect council to understand what we’re paying for, what problem it solves, and whether it’s delivering the result we were promised. I’ll push for clear costs, measurable outcomes, and honest follow-up when something isn’t working.
