Why I'm Running

Ward 8 is my home.

For more than a decade, I have been proud to call our community home, stay involved, support local initiatives, and help wherever I can. I’m running for City Councillor in Ward 8 because I want to continue that work and help build a safer, stronger, more connected, and more responsive community.

I am the only candidate running in Ward 8 who lives in Ward 8.

I share the same streets, neighbourhoods, and everyday concerns as the residents I am asking to represent. I see and experience many of the same issues—from road conditions and snow clearing to neighbourhood safety, city services, and the impact of how our tax dollars are spent.

I believe a councillor should be accessible, listen to residents, bring their concerns to City Hall, and work hard to find practical solutions. I want to be a strong voice for the people who live here and work together to keep moving our community forward.

What I Will Do If Elected

Focused on the issues that affect everyday life.

🛡️

Safer Communities

🛣️

Advocate for well-maintained roads, efficient snow clearing, and reliable city services.

👥

Stronger Neighbourhoods

Support parks, recreation, youth programs, and initiatives that bring our community together.

Community Involvement

A Record of Showing Up and Getting Involved.

Community service has been an important part of my life in Brandon for more than a decade. I believe leadership begins with listening, participating, and contributing. Whether through education, newcomer support, sports, or community events, I have always believed in giving my time and energy to help strengthen our community.

Board of Governors — Assiniboine CollegeProud to serve on the Board of Governors of Assiniboine College, contributing to discussions and decisions that support education, skills development, and opportunities for students across our region.

I also serve on the Finance Committee, bringing my business and financial experience to help support responsible decision-making and the long-term success of the college.
Board of Directors — Westman Immigrant ServicesServing on the Board of Directors of Westman Immigrant Services, an organization that plays an important role in welcoming newcomers and helping families establish successful lives in Brandon and the Westman region.

As a member of the Finance Committee, I contribute to responsible oversight while supporting the organization's work to build a welcoming, inclusive, and connected community.
President — Westman Cricket AssociationAs President of the Westman Cricket Association, I have worked with players, volunteers, families, and community partners to grow cricket in our region.

Our focus goes beyond the game. We are creating opportunities for youth, encouraging participation and teamwork, bringing people from different backgrounds together, and building community through sport.
Supporter of Community EventsI believe strong communities are built when people come together.

Over the years, I have proudly supported, organized, sponsored, and volunteered at many community, cultural, sporting, youth, and family events in Brandon.

I am proud to support events that bring neighbours together, celebrate our diversity, and make Brandon a stronger place to call home.
Advocacy That Gets Results
I was proud to advocate for the expansion of Maryland Park School, taking our community's need for additional school space directly to government. The successful expansion is an example of what can happen when residents speak up, community leaders work together, and our concerns are taken to the right decision-makers.

For me, community involvement isn't something that starts during an election. It's something I've been doing for years.
