Why I'm standing

I want to be part of inflicting a positive change in our community and pushing us forward.

About me

Being in business 14 years and employing majority long-time locals, I know I have the stamina and commitment to be your elected representative.

My priorities

  1. Make rates fair for rural versus town and keep more in line with inflation.
  2. Support business to grow and be more sustainable through the seasonal empire.
  3. Listen to developers and think of the bigger picture and what the project could bring to the community.
