Why I'm standing
I live here and Cambridge is still a good place. For too long we have let others make decisions to our town's detriment.
About me
I will still be living here long after my term is over. I want the best for our town.
My priorities
- Fight Three Waters, the planned residential intensification, and other government overreach.
- Maintain and improve infrastructure including a new bridge.
- Reduce unnecessary spending.
