Why Do You feel That You Should Represent Your Community as Mayor?

I am running for Mayor because Wilmot needs greater transparency, accountability and a stronger long-term vision. Decisions being made today about development, water, infrastructure, recreation and municipal finances will shape our Township for decades. We need to protect our farmland and water while also ensuring our communities have the infrastructure and services they need.


We also need strong advocacy at the Regional and Provincial levels. Our Mayor needs to clearly represent our community's concerns and make sure Wilmot's voice  is heard.

When elected, I want residents to know that they can help shape important decisions. I will create opportunities to listen before decisions are made, and to make information more accessible and understandable.


I want to create opportunities to bring residents together. Wilmot is filled with people with knowledge and experience. We should be using it.


I bring experience managing organizations, budgets and staff, building partnerships and bringing people together to solve difficult problems. I want to use that experience to protect what matters to Wilmot.
