I am asking for a 2nd term as Mayor to complete critical work already begun. Despite the pandemic, we have made record progress addressing the big issues of today. I am passionate about building a vibrant, more sustainable Saanich, with housing and opportunities for all generations.
My approach to getting things done is to act as a catalyst, convener and consensus builder. So much is achieved when key community members, staff and stakeholders come together. I work to support them on our common goals. That's how we solve problems.
I am an action oriented, people person. I've had the honour of working with, and being endorsed by, community leaders from a large cross-section of Saanich.
