Candidate Priorities

Leadership	With decades of community work and public service, I know how to unite voices, set priorities, and move projects forward.
Seeing the Opportunities and Seizing Them	It's time for boldness and innovation to foster economic and cultural growth. Staying in neutral is not an option.
Safety, Housing, and Homelessness	Red Deer must be safe, vibrant, and open for business. Band-aid solutions are not good investments. We can't leave people unhoused and vulnerable on the streets. We can't ignore the concerns of businesses and residents. Red Deer deserves solutions.u
Team Red Deer	I will lead the charge on championing Red Deer and collaborating with our municipal, provincial and federal partners to ensure that Red Deer is not left behind. Advocating for the needs of our city is important work.
Fiscal Responsibility	The City must focus on increasing growth, monitoring spending, and maintaining our current assets. Financial stewardship requires difficult conversations and a realistic, balanced, transparent approach.
