Where I Stand and What I’m Still Listening To
I believe leadership doesn’t start with having all the answers — it starts with asking the right questions, listening to the people who live here, and making decisions based on what actually helps.
I have ideas and values I stand behind, but I’m also committed to learning, evolving, and staying honest along the way.
My Priorities. Your Voice.
Municipal Policing
Grande Prairie’s transition to a municipal police service has raised valid concerns — about costs, staffing, transparency, and community safety.
What matters most to me is that:
-The public has a clear understanding of the impacts
-There’s accountability in how this transition is handled
-We listen to the people directly affected including residents, officers, and front-line workers.
The Direction of Our City
Grande Prairie is growing and we have choices to make.
Do we want to build a city that prioritizes smart planning, community health, and connected neighborhoods?
Or keep reacting instead of leading?
I want to see GP become a place where:
-Young people stay and thrive
-Local businesses are supported
-Growth feels intentional, not chaotic
-We invest in long-term thinking, not short-term fixes
Homelessness & Housing
This is one of the most complex, and urgent, issues we face.
I believe in taking a compassionate, coordinated, and practical, measurable approach:
-Work with frontline organizations, not against them
-Smart Investment in supportive housing and prevention, not just emergency response
-Recognize that safety, dignity, and housing are deeply connected
This isn’t about “quick fixes” it’s about being willing to listen, try new solutions, and make housing security a priority for our city.
Community Engagement & Transparency
Only 21% of people voted last election. That number says a lot.
I’m committed to:
-Regularly communicating what’s happening at City Hall
-Breaking things down so more people can actually get involved
-Being reachable, responsive, and respectful
You don’t need to be a policy expert to care about your city.
And local government should never make you feel like you’re not part of the conversation.
Fiscal Responsibility
Tax dollars are public dollars.
I’ll push for:
-Clear explanations of where money goes
-Spending that reflects actual needs
-Long-term value over short-term optics
Public Spaces & Recreation
Parks, arenas, trails, and rec centres all matter deeply to local families.
I’ll support well-maintained parks, trails, rec centres, and gathering spaces that reflect what our community actually wants.
Because strong communities need places to connect, move, and feel proud of where we live.
-Invest in safe, accessible, and inclusive public spaces for all ages
-Support programs and facilities that bring people together year-round
