MY PLATFORM
Focused on what matters most.
Community Safety & Visibility
A safer, healthier and more connected Ward 13 starts with practical leadership and a balanced approach to public safety. My focus is on improving community well-being by addressing mental health, addiction, crime and public safety together — connecting people to appropriate supports and services while ensuring residents, businesses and visitors feel safe in their neighbourhoods and public spaces. Restoring confidence in our core is essential to encouraging growth, investment and creating stronger communities throughout Ward 13.

Business Growth
I believe London and specifically Ward 13 - has a major opportunity to grow our overall economy by better leveraging our strengths in arts, entertainment, sports, culture, cuisine, heritage and local business rather than raise taxes. As a UNESCO Music City we should be working more closely with provincial, federal and private-sector partners to attract investment in tourism which will attract larger audiences that see, hear and enjoy the incredible talent and experiences our city has to offer. My focus is on creating a safer, more vibrant and more connected downtown core through expanded festivals, free public events, live entertainment and pedestrian-friendly spaces that support residents, businesses and visitors alike. By embracing thoughtful growth and building on the unique energy of Ward 13, we can create a stronger and more exciting future for our community.

Improving City Services
Reliable city services are one of the most important responsibilities of local government and residents deserve leadership that is proactive, responsive and visible in the community every day. My focus is on addressing the everyday challenges facing Ward 13 by working directly with residents and businesses to identify concerns early, respond quickly and ensure issues are resolved efficiently. Whether it’s road maintenance, cleanliness, bylaw concerns, snow removal, infrastructure, or residential needs, I believe residents should feel heard and supported when they reach out for help. By improving communication, accountability and responsiveness at the local level we can build stronger confidence in city services in the area and create a better quality of life throughout Ward 13.

Improving Transit & Connectivity in Ward 13
Reliable and accessible transit is essential to supporting residents, workers, students, businesses and the continued growth of Ward 13. My focus is on enhancing public transit services within the ward by improving reliability, accessibility, connectivity and overall rider experience while ensuring services keep pace with residential growth and community needs.
