Confessions of a Ward 23 Candidate

There is a democratic deficit at City Hall and here in Kanata South. For too long, Ottawa’s City Council has been beholden to big money donors and property developers and not residents like you. As a result, the services we pay for with our tax dollars have suffered and deteriorated. This election is about returning power to you, my hardworking neighbours and friends. You deserve better.

To ensure this happens:

• I will work constructively with all colleagues in the City Council Chamber and vote on Council based on the best needs of Kanata South and the wider City of Ottawa. If an issue is contentious, I will seek input from you to guide my decision making
• My campaign has been financed through small dollar community-based donations. I accept no contributions from property developers or their families
• I will be present in the community and available to all residents of Kanata South. I will ensure my Ward Constituency office is accessible, open and staffed so we can continue to be present for you and address your needs.
• I will seek feedback on my performance as your Councillor each year I represent you and always work to improve how staff and I attend to your concerns
• Leadership requires presence and hearing hard-truths about the community, my record and my performance. I will be attentive during community consultations, and will hear you out if you raise questions about me or challenge my record
