Ready to Speak Up for a Responsible Budget!
I am committed to a responsible budget that respects residents and prioritizes YOUR needs. Going into Budget talks I am ready to fight for smart spending on essential capital projects like:
Improved roads and sidewalks
Upgraded parks and recreational facilities
Essential infrastructure investments
But I believe in finding operational efficiencies and cutting wasteful spending wherever possible. I’m heading into budget deliberations with a strong voice, demanding the most efficient use of your money while ensuring essential services are maintained for Ward 11.
Please reach out and let me know your thoughts on Budget 2025 and your priorities. It is always good to hear from you to help inform my work on Council.
