Why I'm standing
As a proud Hamiltonian, I have become frustrated with a council that doesn't listen to its residents and ratepayers. Unrestrained spending and greedy cash-grabbing of our hard earned dollars. This ends now. As your councillor, we will rein in spending and make Hamilton a safe, prosperous and affordable city that future generations can enjoy.
About me
Experience in compliance, enforcement, health and safety, boardrooms, team leadership, and grassroots experience in many trades and fields. My integrity and reputation are my most valuable attributes.
My priorities
- Reduce the city's debt. Passing the burden to the next generations is not a feasible budgeting plan.
- Fix the roads to make them safe and usable, allowing traffic flow and reducing vehicular damage.
- Improve safety of the city. Spiral crime rates and general feeling of unease need urgent address.
