Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
I want to make an impact, I am completely different then politicains today. I have no allegiance to any corprations , lobbyists or unions. I am non-partisan. I will work with both sides for the betterment of the community. There is to much division between us. We need to unite.
This election presents an opportunity for us to take a hard look at our UCP government and official opposition, the NDP.
We have a serious problem with our representation in the assembly, and this calls for action.
The UCP had promised us grassroots democracy when they merged with the Wildrose in 2017, but that has failed to deliver. All we got was a corporate party that governs from the top down.
Alberta looked for leadership with Ms. Notley, but instead, we received an MLA and an opposition who just complained and never provided solutions.
The situation we are in now leaves us without any options or proper representation in the government.
I firmly believe that the NDP and UCP are struggling to work with each other. All I hear is a jab, swing, and miss from both parties.
Our voice starts with you. This is a grassroots movement, where we as a community come together and decide what we agree and disagree with ,no matter what your previous vote was.
As your MLA, I will work tirelessly to stimulate job growth, support local businesses, and improve our public services.
I will advocate for better healthcare, education, and infrastructure to ensure that our community can thrive.
I am also committed to protecting our environment and promoting sustainable practices that will benefit future generations.
As someone who grew up in a family from the energy sector – my grandfather, uncles, and cousin were all oilfield welders – I fully stand beside the oil and gas sector and firmly believe that we need to get our natural resources out to market. But I also believe that we need serious investment in renewable energy and scientific education to fill the demands of this renewable age.
Alberta has the infrastructure, but we need the right direction.
My unwavering loyalty is with the people of this province and not with any political figure. I am not afraid to speak out and take action. I will stand up to those who prioritize their interests over ours. I will raise the bar, and I will lead by example.
If I am your voice, I am committed to allocating a portion of my salary, amounting to 20% annually, towards initiatives that benefit the district of Castledowns. Specifically, these funds will be directed towards supporting families who face challenges in accessing food security.
And I will call on other leaders and businesses in the community to stand in solidarity so that no one in our community goes to bed hungry.
For the last 20 professional years, I have been negotiating your real estate transactions. I have sold over half a billion dollars in real estate and have had the privilege to deal with 1000+ families in Alberta.
If elected as your voice, I will carry this experience forward to negotiate the best terms for our district and not for the corporations or any heads of political parties.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve you.
Remember Elected officials work for you.
I am your humble Servant
